Collage- pasting pictures , letters or objects on a piece of cardboard
Learning to sit and focus. Making a collage with your toddler is a lot of fun. they love to squeeze the glue and to items on card board. You and your toddler should look for the pictures that she would like to cut. Have your toddler point out the picture and you cut them out for her. You can use the circular from the super market and a piece of card board or old magazines.
This activity helps your toddler with self-regulation . When your toddler does not want to continue the activity she will just get up and may say" finish". The first time she may sit for five minutes but as times goes on and she will be able to be engaged longer. This activity helps your toddler to learn how to sit and focus.
Many children get to formal school , daycare etc and are not able to focus. This is called short attention span and your child may end up with a diagnosis for example ADD when a child is not able to focus on an activity for the duration based on their age.
However, your toddler needs to have these experiences very early and with time she will have learn how to focus.
