I observed toddlers at the Little Sprouts Early Education and Child Care Center. Upon entering I did had certain expectations and a sense of what I was prepared to observe. However, I was very surprised in my observations. All the children were well behaved and they got along. It was interesting to see how different each toddler was and their physical and intellectual abilities. The toddlers engaged in all types of play including imaginative, active, dramatic, pretend, and cooperative play. Play

R.C. 5.1 Science/Sensory (Toddler) Activity: “Fossil Finding” Materials: Water table, dirt, fossil rocks, regular rocks, toy bugs, sifter, large magnifying glass, and digging tools.

A toddler is on a mission for independence. When children are at the toddler age they start to develop behaviors of saying no, exploring, and learning self-help skills.

Whether it be in an environment not suitable for any person to live, as depicted by Ponijao’s family, or a well-kept home, as shown by Hattie’s family, the development stages were pretty much the same. Each toddler used their senses in order to gain information about the world around them. The major difference between the development of these four babies was the environment that they grew up in. For example, Hattie’s parents were constantly trying to teach their
