What are some activities for toddlers to do?
I’m going to get a summer job at a Daycare/Learning Center.
I volunteered two years ago, but I forgot what we really did.
So I need some good activities or even games that are fun
and educational, please! 🙂 Thanks.

Go to your local library and ask the librarian where the teacher reference books are. There is a magazine called "Mailbox" that teachers use for ideas and planning. It is a monthly magazine. Other books you can use that are good:

You might try this book. It’s designed for parents to work with their pre-schooler, but a lot of the activities would work for a group.
