As a parent, it is hard to know whether you are doing enough to help your toddler develop the academic skills that he will need as he prepares for preschool and learning in a more structured environment. Toddlers learn primarily through play, but they can benefit from short teaching sessions to reinforce basic educational concepts. Teach My Toddler is a self contained classroom for toddlers that provides parents with a base of educational materials to teach the alphabet, numbers, shapes, and colors.
Interactive Education
So many educational tools require little to no parental involvement. Toddlers thrive when they have an attentive parent who not only encourages them to learn, but is involved in the educational process. Teach My Toddler includes books, puzzles, flash cards, and a teaching chart. While these items are not ground breaking, having all of the necessary teaching materials together in one place, makes it easy for parents to take a few minutes out of their day to work on building a foundation of educational concepts.
Flash cards have gotten a bad reputation in recent years due to parents and educators being confused about how to use them correctly. Flash cards can be a valuable educational tool if they are used in a fun and interactive way.
All the materials in the Teach My Toddler program correspond with each other, which makes it easy to combine them to form new activities. Toddlers will love matching the puzzle pieces to the matching illustrations on the teaching chart or book.
Simplify Storage and Organization
The light-weight tote is easy to store and provides easily accessible storage for the Teach My Toddler program. With only the materials included in the Teach My Toddler program, you can create endless educational games and activities to do with your toddler. The included parent’s guide provides examples of how to use the materials included in the tote and ways to expand on the skills that your toddler is learning.
Make Education Fun
Christy Cook, founder of Teach My Toddler, recommends keeping the materials in the Teach My Toddler tote separate from other toys in order to make the time you spend learning together something special. Richard, age 2, claps his hands and cheers when the Teach My Toddler tote comes out because he enjoys having special, one-on-one time, with mom.
Toddler education does not have to be complicated. They are like little sponges. They learn from everything around them. Using the Teach My Toddler program for 20 minutes a day can help create a special bond with a parent and build a foundation of basic educational concepts.
