What tools do you use to teach your kid at home?

[Jeniff]

Hello there
I am wondering what tool should I use to teach my two year old daughter

[piglet81]

For a two year old, books, playdough, building blocks, simple cars…

[Jeniff]

Thank you, tried this already

What about worksheets ? Some simple one with letters etc

[ChildminderMum]

Physical - scooter/trike, something to climb on, swings, pens and crayons, playdough
Maths - puzzles, building blocks, water and sand play, containers
Literacy - story books, songs, small world toys
Creativity - paint, musical instruments, dressing up clothes

Your two year old doesn’t have the core muscle or motor skills to write properly yet.

Please don’t worry about worksheets.

get outside climbing, jumping, swinging, kicking a ball

give her stubby crayons and let her scribble on rolls of wallpaper to develop her early pencil grip

it’s great you care about your child’s education but you need to relax and focus on age appropriate skills

Is this a joke. Let your toddler play that is how she will learn.

2? What does she like?

Do household tasks together, goto the park, go to some toddler groups, some kids TV, some craft and baking together. Do you really not know what to do with a 2 year old? What do you do at the moment?

Free drawing on (e.g.) rolls of lining paper.
Playdough
Shape sorters
Stacking toys
Small world play (e.g. Playmobil)
Singing and action songs

And, above everything else, READ TO YOUR CHILD. Talk about the story, the characters, look at and discuss the pictures. A love of books and reading is the greatest gift you can give.

You’ve already had great advice but no don’t use worksheets with a 2 year old. At that age they learn enough through play. The best thing you can do is read to them and help them gain a love of books. Playdoh, small world play, physical play, sensory play is all brilliant.

Children have a strong natural drive to learn, so you can just go with whatever your little one likes to do. Many small children enjoy water play, helping adults, experimenting with making noises, going outside, and exploring the world.

I know a 2 year old who was reading! Mine definitely couldn't have done that at 2, but some 2 year olds are keen, gifted , advanced.
You could look at the CGP 3-4 years books, potentially doing them again further down the line if needed. Progress with Oxford do 3-4 too that have stickers in. The big preschool workbook would be my choice, ages 3-5 but there are certainly activities in it mine have done at 2 wanting to do 'school work' like older sibling. We did some of the mazes and colour matching if memory serves, used inconjunction with a colouring book. They were very happy with that as school work. It gently goes into letters and numbers when child is readyl quite thick, will last awhile and reasonably priced.

Kate Snows Preschool Math book is super lovely and hands on and games based. It is just a teacher manual at that level and no workbook.
My choices would be and have been:
The big Preschool workbook(very fun), Kate Snows Preschool math book and Orchard toys alphabet lotto. Maybe match and spell depending on the child. Some magnetic letters for treasure hunts. I think this would be a really lovely mixture of book work and hands on . Having a few things to pull resources from means you can work through it a little slower if needed too.
