A young toddler’s first blocks should be made of cardboard or other lightweight
material,because they are likely to be thrown or knocked down. Teachers can
redirect this typical behavior by reminding children,“Blocks are for stacking,
not throwing!”
Puzzles made for toddlers are a good choice for the classroom. They promote
many skills, including fine motor skills that require the child to manipulate
small pieces with his fingers.
Children begin to scribble spontaneously at around one year of age. It is
important to have crayons and paper available to encourage this new skill.
However, even non-toxic crayons will need supervision because children may
put crayons in their mouths.
