WHEN I AM...2
Two-year-olds explore the world scientifically and are persistent. They repeat activities over and over, observing what happens as they experiments. They will keep doing something until they get it “right” (“right” according to a two-year-old, that is!).
Two-year-olds use simple words and are beginning to develop sentences and follow simple directions. Their social skills continue to develop and they get excited when they see other children or familiar adults. They thrive during make-believe play, continue to test physical boundaries, and are beginning to sort shapes and colors.
I am expressing my creative side through physical movement. I am continuing to learn how to control my body – including smaller movements.
