Brain Games for Kids: 4 Ways to Get Your Toddler Thinking! by Kaila Weingarten

Want to stimulate your child's brain? Try these four ideas to encourage your toddler’s thinking skills!

• Encourage your child to explore toys in different ways - touching, banging, stacking, shaking. 
• Turn everyday routines into playful learning moments. Bath time is a chance to learn about ideas like sinking/floating and wet/dry. 
• Follow your child’s interests. Kids learn best through activities that excite them. 
• Ask your child questions that get him thinking as he nears age 3. When reading a book together ask, "Why do you think the girl is crying? 

Above all, have fun!
