Top Learning Toys for 2 Year Old Kids!

There are several things that kid will be able to do in her/his third year of life (although there is no strict rules that this kid must do - every kid is an individual who develops on her/his rhythm):
* Kid is capable of helping with some meal preparation: scrubbing vegetables, snapping peas, tearing salad greens, and peeling bananas.
* Child is more interested in scribbling with crayons. He will begin to copy lines first, and then circles.
* Towards his third birthday, your child may enjoy learning to cut with safety scissors.
* He/she will learn to run without tripping too often.
* Learn to jump on both feet.
* Learn to walk up and down stairs independently.
* Child will learn to talk in short sentences.
* He/she will be able to follow directions using the words "on" "in" and "under."
* Child will understand simple stories.
* He/she may even have imaginary friends and will play pretend with dolls and stuffed animals.
* Learn to match familiar items to pictures of those items.
* Kids may begin to "play house."
* Child will learn to count "1-2-3" and understand what those numbers mean.

Random scribbles begin at age one-and-a-half, but quite quickly take on definite shapes. Circular movement is first because it is most natural anatomically.

First disordered scribbles are simply records of enjoyable kinesthetic activity, not attempts at portraying the visual world. After six months of scribbling, marks are more orderly as children become more engrossed. Soon they begin to name scribbles, an important milestone in development.

If you've ever been around young children, you've probably noticed how they tend to try to skip rather than walk, dance rather than stroll, or sing when they're trying to drown out your instructions:-)

The physical benefits of early childhood music are outstanding. Fine and gross motor skills can be improved through improvisational dancing and handling of the instruments. Vocal and speech development can improve through singing. Listening skills and concentration improve with aural training. The old-fashioned goals of sharing and cooperation are reinforced with the sharing of instruments and encouragement of other students.

The most important benefit, however, is the proven positive effects music has on brain development.
