Toddlers: Learning by Playing
It might look like just child’s play, but toddlers are hard at work learning important
physical skills as they gain muscle control, balance, and coordination. Each new skill lets them progress to the next one, building on a foundation that leads to more complicated physical tasks, such as jumping rope, kicking a ball on the run, or turning a cartwheel. Toddlers always want to do more, which can motivate them to keep trying until they master a new skill, no matter what it takes.
