In this video I’m sharing what curriculum I use with my 2 year old, almost 3 year old toddler. When I say “curriculum” I’m not talking about formal, workbook-like curriculum. I’m just showing some materials I use to teach the alphabet, numbers, shapes, colors and vocabulary that are inexpensive and can be used whenever my toddler is ready to learn the more academic subjects.

Teaching these things to our toddlers are exciting, especially when they show interest! But remember, the most important learning your toddler should be doing is playing and exploring! Their brains are absorbing so much of the world around them, so allowing your little one to dig in the dirt, build a block tower, help you pick vegetables at the grocery store…all of these things that seem so simple to us, are actually the greatest lessons for them. Your toddler does not need curriculum. They don’t even need to learn the alphabet right now if they’re not interested in it. That kind of learning will come in time! (So take a breath, you’re doing a wonderful job!) But when your toddler is interested in letters, shapes and numbers, then this is the video for that! Happy learning!
