Top Toddler Tips

Toddlers can be lots of fun! Our first-hand experience, tips and ideas will help navigate you through the early years and make life just that little bit easier.

Our tips include:

• Use everyday activities for learning. Count your way up stairs; point out different colours; listen for interesting noises.

 

• Keep a full change of clothes in the car - those wet/mucky moments will no longer be a big drama!

 

• Finding it hard to get toddler to eat a healthy evening meal? Try a main meal at lunchtime and opt for a lighter snack at tea time.

 

• Picky eater? Get your little one to help put together a simple meal. It's amazing how much is consumed in the process!

 

• Toddlers love meatballs and they are a great place to hide vegies - grated carrot, courgettes and more! Toss them in homemade tomato sauce.

 

• A night light can help solve bedtime issues.

 

• Let your little one help bake cookies or a cake. They will love licking the spoon. Very messy but great fun!

 

• Carry a couple of balloons in your handbag. Great for those moments out and about when your toddler needs amusement.

 

• Find fun ways to teach your toddler computer skills.

 

• Having trouble getting them to eat well? Try a 'funky lunch'!
