❤️ You’re doing great.

Every child grows and learns at their own pace. Small moments of play, talking, and connection are adding up — even on the hard days. Keep showing up. It matters more than you know.

🎨 Tear & paste art!

Let your toddler tear paper and glue it onto a page. This activity builds hand strength, coordination, and creativity — and there’s no “right” way to do it. The process matters more than the result!

🏃 Move & play indoors!

Cold weather doesn’t stop learning. Create an indoor obstacle course with pillows, tunnels, or taped lines on the floor. Moving their bodies helps toddlers develop balance, coordination, and confidence.

📚 Read it again — and again!

Don’t worry if your toddler wants the same book every day. Repetition builds language skills, confidence, and early comprehension. Reading together is always time well spent. 💕

❄️ Winter sensory bin fun!

Fill a container with cotton balls, cups, and spoons for scooping and pouring. Sensory play helps toddlers explore textures, practice motor skills, and stay engaged indoors during colder months.

✋ Sticker time = skill building!

Let your toddler peel and stick stickers onto paper or a notebook. This simple activity strengthens finger muscles, improves coordination, and encourages focus — plus it’s fun and mess-free!

🗣️ Talk through your day!

As you go about daily routines, try narrating what you’re doing: “We’re putting on socks!” or “Now we’re washing hands.”
Hearing words repeated throughout the day helps toddlers build vocabulary, comprehension, and confidence — all through simple conversation.

🌱 New month, new opportunities to grow!

January is a great time to slow down and focus on simple routines, meaningful play, and everyday moments that help your toddler learn and thrive. Little things — talking, reading, and playing together — really do make a big difference! 💛

A brand new year and a fresh chapter ahead ✨
Here’s to new beginnings, bright futures, and supporting our youngest learners every step of the way.

Happy New Year from Grant Early Childhood Network! 🎆
