A toddler loves games and activities that involve climbing, bouncing, sitting, standing, and jumping on things. With time, you will notice that her hands are becoming more coordinated and she can now use sorters more efficiently, build even higher block towers, and scribble. Here are some simple toddler games that offer a fun way to spend quality time with your little one.

Bouncy Climber
Your toddler probably loves toddler games, where she can climb and bounce and would be thrilled at one of those indoor playgrounds with inflatable bounce houses. Play this fun game that can help your toddler to develop gross motor skills and balance. For the game, take a cardboard container or a pillow and place it in front of the couch so that your toddler can practice climbing. Set your toddler loose and watch her explore while you follow along behind to spot and assist as needed.

Doodling Daisy
As her fine motor skills are picking up, your little one will love to doodle. These scribbles are the first step on the road to writing. Toddler games that encourage your toddler to put crayon to paper help the growth of fine motor control, color identification, drawing, understanding cause and effect. To play this easy game, tape some big sheets of thick paper onto the floor or a table and let your baby doodle to her heart's content. Start off with just red, blue, and yellow and slowly introduce other colors. Offer her the crayons and let her choose. When she makes her selection, call out the name of the color. Encourage her creativity and shower her creations with praise.

While play is important for your child, sleep is equally essential. Toddler beds are low in height which facilitates climbing on to the beds with ease and so is safer for your little one. Such beds have rounded edges to make them safe for little children. As with all furniture for kids, they are painted with washable, scratch-proof paint. Sleigh beds are also a good option for toddler beds. Sleigh beds have their headboards and footboards in the form of sleighs, so the toddler can jump right into bed. The bed is made of wood and has guardrails to ensure the safety of the child. Toddler beds are available in a wide range of attractive colors and styles featuring cartoon characters and shapes like a boat or a fire engine.

Play these fun games with your little one and tuck her into bed with an enchanting bedtime story.
