Toddler Board Games

"Hi, this is Stacey and in this video I will show you some toddler games. The first game is "Barrel of Monkeys", this game is great for toddlers because it's simple. All you have to do is hook the monkey on the arm and this will be great for them to practice their hand-eye coordination and they probably will enjoy it as well. Another great game for toddlers is "Elefun". First you put the butterflies in the elephant's trunk, then you put the top half back on and this part raises and will blow them out, and the child catches them with the included butterfly net. And this game is great for toddlers because even if they don't catch very many they just have fun interacting with other children and practicing their large motor skills. The last game I'm going to talk about is "Lucky Ducks", this is another great toddler game. According to the directions, you put the ducks on the pond and then you will turn it on. Each child has a pad and they need to pick the ducks to match their color, so this duck is green and if I had this green mat then I would put it on there. If I chose the red then it won't go on my green and I have to put it back and you continue playing until all the ducks are gone, so whoever fills up their color wins. To modify this for toddlers you can just have them put the ducks on the pond and have them turn it on, and then you just help them place them on the correct colors. You don't actually need to have them have their own mat or another way you can do is just have them play with the ducks and just say the colors on the bottom."
