Toddlers enjoy art activities that involve the sense of touch. Allowing a toddler to put his hands in paint and arts and crafts material is more enjoyable to him than giving him a paintbrush and separating him from the tactile experience. Art that allows the toddler to feel things with his hands is what is important to him, according to Dr. Karen DeBord, a child development specialist. Spread out a tarp or old sheet on the floor underneath a table. Cover the table with a cloth and give the child a smock if he will wear it. Then, let the toddler dig into the art materials and get messy.

Choosing a mattress for a child is often confusing for parents. We spend a good portion of our lives sleeping, so having a comfortable and safe mattress for a child is extremely important.

A sleepover is a social event that children may experience at least once in their lifetime. It is a way that they can have social interactions with peers aside from attending school or participating in sports activities. Children can start to participate in sleepovers when they no longer have separation anxiety, usually when they start going to school and demonstrate that they can be a little independent and can follow certain instructions. A sleepover should be wholesome and filled with fun activities to keep the children entertained. Usually, the hosting parents and their child plan the activities ahead of time to ensure that the sleepover will be a successful one.
