Spinner's End Primary (at The Linton Academy): Looking Back: Toddler Winter Activities

Activities for Two and Three-Year-Olds

Looking Back is my way of sharing posts that may be buried way back in our archives. I hope that some of these ideas might be helpful to someone. (If not, it's still fun for me to look back at the fun we've had.)

Here are some winter-themed activities Robbie enjoyed when he was a toddler...

I used to set out some of our Legos in a small bin to go with whichever theme we were using. I placed white and clear legos along with some fun accessories during our winter theme when Robbie was three. He had lots of fun creating winter scenes.

Winter-Themed Lego Bin: White and Clear Legos, Penguins, Styrofoam "Snowballs" and more!

We chose some "wintery" Hot Wheels cars and used a few white towels for some pretend play. He really loved the ramp and the snow drifts we created with folds and wrinkles.

Driving in the Snow - Pretend Play

Robbie was never really a big fan of sensory bins, but we did have a few he enjoyed. This one contained shredded paper, styrofoam balls, glitter ball ornaments, clear glass rocks, glue stick "icicles" and some clear plastic tongs. I also dripped white glue down the sides of the bin to make it look iced over. (It peeled right off when we were finished.)

Snow and Ice Sensory Bin

Play-Doh bin... this was probably his favorite thing of all. I cut out a paper snowflake and laminated it onto blue construction paper so that he could roll balls and squish them into the snowball shape. He also had a polar Play-Doh playset that came with white and silver glitter dough. He's six now, and he will still spend hours with Play-Doh.
