2. Exposure to Print Materials
Read books together every day, and go to a public library weekly if you have one available. Let your child see you read - books, magazines, and the newspaper.
3. Play With Manipulatives
Duplos, stringing beads, play-doh, kinetic sand, puzzles, stickers, doll babies with clothes to take off and put on, Magnatiles, and my toddler’s favorite - "little guys” to put in rescue vehicles - are all perfect examples of open-ended toys that encourage the hand-eye coordination and hand strength needed for writing.
4. Exposure To Writing Tools
Developmentally toddlers are learning to make simple pre-writing marks - vertical and horizontal lines and circles. The classic choice is crayons. But writing tools also include paint brushes, sidewalk chalk, Do a Dot markers, Magnadoodle boards, Water Wow paint-free painting pages, and even a stick to draw roads in the sandbox.
5. Follow Your Child’s Interests
Some kiddos will start to recognize letters at 2 years old and show an interest in the world of letters and numbers. Other kiddos won’t have much interest in letters and numbers until closer to 4 or 5. Both are okay. Seriously. Whatever your toddler’s interest level is in writing is OKAY.
