Top toddler “curriculum” picks | How to teach your toddler | Homeschool

- In this video I’m sharing what curriculum I use with my 2 year old, almost 3 year old toddler. When I say “curriculum” I’m not talking about formal, workbook-like curriculum. I’m just showing some materials I use to teach the alphabet, numbers, shapes, colors and vocabulary that are inexpensive and can be used whenever my toddler is ready to learn the more academic subjects.
Teaching these things to our toddlers are exciting, especially when they show interest! But remember, the most important learning your toddler should be doing is playing and exploring! Their brains are absorbing so much of the world around them, so allowing your little one to dig in the dirt, build a block tower, help you pick vegetables at the grocery store…all of these things that seem so simple to us, are actually the greatest lessons for them. Your toddler does not need curriculum. They don’t even need to learn the alphabet right now if they’re not interested in it. That kind of learning will come in time! (So take a breath, you’re doing a wonderful job!) But when your toddler is interested in letters, shapes and numbers, then this is the video for that! Happy learning!

I love exploring and playing myself... Great work Mom! 👍
Thank you!
Love this thanks. I have a lot of the same learning resources for my son now I can just be more intentional.
You're welcome! Have fun teaching him, it's such a fun age because they are already so curious about everything.
Than you so much for sharing how you teach your toddler. As a Family childcare provider I feel the state puts a lot of pressure on us when it comes down to the curriculum. What you do is so easy and helpful and fun.
Thank you! I can only imagine what the standards are like, that makes it tough!
Who makes that busy book? There are so many that I can not find it on amazon. And thank you so much for sharing
I bought our busy book a few years ago and I too have a hard time finding it again. It’s not even in my recent purchases! I believe I have a link to one that’s very similar 😊
Omg thank you for linking the products in the description!! Can’t wait to grab some of those for my little one 🤍✨👶🏽
Of course!!
I was hoping you’d make this video! Our little man is around the same age and I love your ideas. I watch all of your videos, thank your for putting in the effort to make them and share your life! ♥️
Yay! I’m glad you liked it! I really love creating these videos so the effort put into them is all in joy ♥️

Sometimes I find myself a little skeptical of "curriculum" suggestions from home educators. However, I was vey impressed from start to finish. I could immediately see the benefits of each suggestion, and I loved the sign language add in :) Great video!
Thank you so much!
Your videos are awesome! I have a 2 year old and a 5 year old and we’re starting to homeschool in the fall. Your videos are so informative. Thanks again :-)
Thank you for that compliment! 2 and 5 are so fun to homeschool, soak it all up!
We have the same alphabet book...it's in a little bit of rough shape at this point, because it was my mom's for a few of my sisters as well...it's been "well-loved". I've never seen "touch and feel" flashcards like that, those are neat!
Well loved books are the best. I love when they’re all beat up ♥️
Awsome. So easy to follow
Thank you!
I liked when you said you wouldn’t sing again :p i will sing that song, we have the same book. Subscribed, we have a 2 year old we are interested in home schooling
Thank you! I hope you enjoy homeschooling your little one 😊
In spanish Google
" el mono silabo " is for learning how to read in spanish
Those cards are amazing! I'm ordering some now for my 2 year old!
I love them! I got so excited when I found them on Amazon 😄
My toddler is 2 year 7 months ,thanks for the video it's very helpful to me
Aw you’re welcome! Thank you for watching. Have fun teaching your toddler, it’s one of my favorite ages to teach ❤️
On coming year I like to use the good and beautiful curriculum for preschool please share what you are going to use for coming year
@@reechelputta5272 Thanks for reminding me about this! My son will be starting Preschool and I have a few things I have already collected for him. Once I get everything I’ll create a video about it 😊
great resources! thanks for sharing 😍
would you mind sharing how you organize your homeschool material, how you display the material that's out there for them to use, what your homeschool day looks like, how you manage 2 kids at the same time while teaching, and maybe how you manage your time as a busy mama 🥰
Thank you! These are all great ideas and definitely want to create content around that. We are in a temporary living situation right now and once we’re settled into our home I will most definitely make these kinds of videos. Thanks for the suggestions, I’m writing them down 😊
Thank you !!!
You’re very welcome!
My 2 year old is speech delayed but his toddler “thing” is letters and numbers and you can tell he has a real grasp on them and not just rote memory. I feel like every toddler has their thing whether it’s dinos, cars, dolls whatever it may be. Mine just happens to really love letters and numbers haha😂 this is encouraging me to do more “school” type activities with him. I have a lot of these resources but will definitely be adding the flash cards. Those are great
Yep, we just have to follow our little one's interests!
Grasp on numbers is one of the best traits if not the best. Understaning numbers help in everything in life especially finances.
I started my 2 yro granddaughter. Her attention span is Abt 20 minutes.
We do letters - matching objects
And pick which one is different.
She did that in 5 seconds. As soon as she understood. Like 4 giraffes & one no spots.
4 flowers ,,& one a different color etc
She loves dinosaurs and Knows every single dino-
And now sea animals. Also
Little fox does a little more about each animal
She's interested - so we go w that
She's a sponge
We did B and the animals that start w B
That night I asked animals that start w B and she remembered badger
This is awesome!
My son would very quickly rip those flaps off...
😂 I'm sorry, he will grow out of it, I promise!
We sing the same song with A is for Apple! 😉
Haha, sometimes it’s the only way he’ll let me read it.
Where did you get the cards? Also the book with Velcro activities? I love this video! Thank you! ❤️
Hi! Everything is linked in the description box. I apologize for my late response, I was taking a long break from CZcams 😊
Thanks alott it was soo helpfull
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!
i have found a very interesting superhero game to keep my kids engaged.
How sturdy are these flashcards? Can you please link them
They’re actually quite sturdy! My kids have been able to bend them, but they’re not super flimsy. I have every set of flash cards linked in the description 😊
I can’t find the same “My Preschool Busy Book!” Where can I find one like yours?
I’m having trouble finding the same one too, I think they discontinued it. If you look up “preschool busy book” there are a ton of options 😊
Im Interested in the first 2 books-- did you have any issues in associating letters with images?
My son loved those books when he was 2 and 3, he's starting to lose interest now that he's getting older. There were no issues associating the letters with the images 😊
Love this ❤!! Thank you so much
Thank you for watching!

Hi! Thank you for reaching out. Feel free to reach me at hello@familythatlearn.com
My 3 year old isn't interested in any learning at all whether it's shapes, colours numbers or letters. Any advice please. Also love your video. Going to watch every single one if your videos aa I feel I need them all lol. Will do a few at an evening time
Advice would be to play to your child’s interests and not to worry about formal learning activities at this age. As said in the video - reading is the best way to teach concepts to your child whether it’s language, shapes, numbers. Just go with what they like and try to find activities that match. Like if they’re obsessed with dolls count their dolls. Or if they love transportation find an ABC transportation book :)
Yes, @agrubbs7496 is absolutely right! No worries if your toddler is not interested in learning those things. They are actually learning a TON simply by playing and exploring their environment. What is also important is reading to them, get them familiar with language through reading, it's a great preface for learning how to read 😊
❤️!!!
