How to Play with your 2 year old

My 2 year old loves Dora the Explorer, so by making games we play involve something she likes, it increases her attention span.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Sidewalk Chalk
• Modest Imagination

1. Find a large driveway, sidewalk, or protected concrete area.
2. Take your sidewalk chalk and begin drawing scenes that can contribute to an adventure.
3. Can start by drawing a desert island, then some water, and a deserted port city. Create additional steps along the way to the final destination, like your child's house.
4. Then take your child through the steps of the adventure, describing each location along the way, and asking how you are going to make it to the next step.

Tips & Warnings

• Use as many descriptive adjectives as you can, make it feel like an adventure, and get into it yourself. Your child will want to play over and over.
