In winter, infants and toddlers become lazy and inactive because they spend most of their time inside their homes due to the severe cold outside. This acts as a major deterrence to their growth and development. It is very important to keep them active as it would catalyze their proper development and growth.
In winter season, your toddlers spend most of their time inside the home. So it would be better to indulge them in indoor activities along with you for their all-round development and growth. Every toddler loves to have baked food, be it cake, cookies etc. Get your toddler involved in preparing the dough along with you by encouraging them to use their fingers to knead and mix.
Infants and toddlers are too young to understand the importance of social interaction and cultivation of relationships. At this age, they would rather enjoy watching their own faces in the mirror. Allow your toddler to see themselves in the mirror and enjoy laughing at themselves.
Make your toddler learn by asking them to identify their body parts looking into the mirror. Toddlers enjoy such types of activities a lot. Trace out your toddler’s hand and leg prints on a plane sheet of paper and ask them to name those parts. Get them involved in creative activities by letting them trace out their hand and foot prints on a piece of paper.
You should not ignore the importance of physical activities, especially in winter. Physical activities in winter make your toddler more active and feel rejuvenated, whereas you cannot think of these activities in summers, which are the following:
- Dancing
- Kite flying
- Snow Angels
- Play Dough
Mental activity and cognitive development are also necessary to develop your toddler’s brain. These activities are the following:-
- Puzzles
- Sticking
