Month 6: Toddler Preschool Foundational Skills | Ages Up to 4 - Page 19

How to use this worksheet

Look over the page together first and point out the activity prompts and any pictures to color. Talk through what's being asked in simple terms your toddler can follow, breaking it into one small step at a time. Hand your toddler a crayon and guide their attention to the first prompt, offering hand-over-hand support if their grip is still developing. Move through the remaining prompts on the page at your toddler's pace, taking breaks as needed since attention spans are naturally short at this age.

Extension activities

• 1Offer a variety of coloring tools, like chunky crayons, washable markers, or dot stampers, to build grip strength in different ways.
• 2Turn coloring time into a naming game, asking your toddler to point to and name colors as they use them.
• 3Practice simple pincer-grasp activities, like picking up small pom-poms or cereal pieces, to build fine motor strength alongside coloring.
• 4Read a short picture book together afterward as a calm follow-up activity that continues building focus and attention.
• 5Set up a simple sensory coloring station using bath crayons or chalk for a change of texture and setting.
