Activities for children from 2 to 3 years old such as painting, drawing or singing are perfect teaching methods for their physical and emotional development and therefore, in Logos Nursery, nursery school located in Las Rozas de Madrid, we leave you some other activities to develop with children at this stage.
The importance of early stimulation
To enhance the cognitive, linguistic, motor and emotional functions in a baby's brain, it is necessary to provide them with adequate stimulation through fun activities that can help their development from the time they are babies.
The brain of children of this age requires a certain amount of constant and good quality stimuli for the acquisition of new functions. Therefore, early stimulation is very important for optimal brain development in different areas. Therefore, at Logos Nursery we attach great importance to the application of this type of stimulation by incorporating it into our daily routine to stimulate the potential of our youngest students.
3 activities for children from 2 to 3 years old
What better way to stimulate the physical and emotional capacity of the little ones than with the most entertaining methods? Here are the 3 best activities for children 2 to 3 years old. Let's play!
Motor activities
They are ideal for the development of coordination and concentration in children. Generally, these activities are based on handicrafts.
- Ball game: when throwing balls, the little ones will physically work arms and legs while developing their coordination, both when throwing and trying to catch the balls. A great option to develop gross psychomotor skills.
- Tweezers: letting children play for a while with tweezers, such as clothespins, is very beneficial for fine motor skills, especially their hands. These types of games are also very favorable for practicing concentration on an activity.
Stimulation activities
They are especially important for the development of cognitive and emotional skills, as well as for strengthening and enhancing children's independence.
- Picking up toys: a relevant activity for children to learn about responsibility and the importance of keeping their things tidy. Through this activity they feel that they help adults, that they are useful and responsible.
- Painting: will inspire creativity in children, as well as their artistic skills and imagination. At the same time, concepts such as colors, shapes, sizes, etc. are reinforced.
Recreational activities
A favorite among children, they are ideal for occupying free time and combating boredom.
- Symbolic playconsists of reproducing the world of adults in a play environment, and thus acquiring habits and responsibilities. For example, simulating the activity in a restaurant, at school, or in a store. This type of play allows the child to experience a different role than usual.
- Construction games: help stimulate their imagination and potential through the creation of new constructions. They create, design and build their own formations. This type of games promote freedom in creation, coordination when putting the pieces together and satisfaction when seeing the final result.
At Logos Nursery we support and encourage recreational activities in our infant students for their early stimulation.
