Toddlers love pulling and playing with small wagons.
They are great for filling up and unloading. Here are a few activities
that toddlers can enjoy using a wagon.
IN AND OUT
Give your child a small wagon (or box) and some small objects, such
as; blocks or small toys. Encourage your child to put the objects
into the wagon, take them for a short ride, then unload the objects.
When he puts something in, say "in". When he takes something
out, say "out".

ANIMAL RIDES
Set out three stuffed animals and a small
wagon (or box with short rope handle). Let your child take
one or all of the animals for a ride around the room.

LEAF
HUNT
Take your child and the wagon outside. Sprinkle
some leaves on the sidewalk or on the grass. Encourage your
child to pull the wagon around and pick up the leaves. You
can also play the game, where you pull the wagon while your
child concentrates on just picking up the leaves.

COLOR HUNT
Set out five red objects and
five blue objects. Have your child go on a color hunt. As he
picks up each object say the name of the color. Increase the
objects and the number of colors as your child gets better at
this game. |
