PlayNana

Ages 2–3

Play with real objects, listen, move and make free marks with a grown-up.

Before you begin

Start with one instruction, two large objects and simple choices.

Start with one activity that interests your child. Stop, ask for an example or return to something simpler whenever helpful.

Start with real objects

Rolled-Sock Toss

Drop socks in from close by first; count successful throws when ready.

Talk together, without chasing scores.

Notice interest in pointing, copying or choosing. Offer time and an example without asking for a particular result.
