Our recent top homemade and DIY activities for two-year-olds; Cloud Dough, Frozen Ocean Animal Rescue, Kinetic Sand Letter hunt, Letter Matching and Salt Painting.
Cloud Dough
Easy to make, all you need is conditioner, corn starch and food coloring. (1 part conditioner, 2 parts corn starch)
Frozen Ocean Animal Rescue
Grab a few containers, submerge objects in water and freeze. Remove from containers and drop into larger bin. Invite your child to rescue the animals.
Kinetic Sand Letter & Number Hunt
Using wooden puzzle pieces, I had Wesleigh dig up letters and numbers. As she discovered the pieces, I asked her to identify the numbers and letters.
Letter Matching
With paper, trace letters and/or numbers and have your child match the stenciled letters with corresponding magnets. You can remove and add the quantity of letters your child is matching from. Alternatively, try this with stickers or puzzle pieces if you don’t have magnets.
Salt Painting
A simple, no frills painting activity. All you need is glue, salt, paintbrush watercolors and paper plates (cardstock paper or similar). Use the glue to create shapes on the paper, add salt to the glue (shake off extra) and paint the salt with watercolors.
