Parenting Tips for Your 35-36 Month Old Toddler

How to Play

  • Sit in a familiar room with your child, look around the room and pick out something you can describe in two ways: what it looks like and what it does.
  • After giving these two descriptions, ask your child to guess what you are thinking of. For example, I can see something that is red and rolls along the floor, or I can see something that is white and you drink from it, or I see something that has 4 legs and you sit on it.
  • Remember to let your child have a turn at asking you to guess, too.
