Activities
Writing Exercise
Playing outside with bubbles, in the sand, or with water all helps your baby develop the fine motor skills she’ll later need to write.
Ready, Set, Squeeze!
Holding objects in his hands and squeezing them is good practice for when your baby eventually holds crayons, markers, and pencils.
Write Stuff
When you write something, invite your baby to join in by giving her a crayon and piece of paper.
Writing with Stuff
Find new and interesting things to write with—from soap to water to…mud!
Play Write
Make writing part of your toddler’s pretend games, from make-believe shopping lists to party invitations.

Help your toddler draw his own, life-sized self-portrait!
