204 ten little toes ten little fingers Time to Rhyme Teach your child some rhymes and finger plays with repetitive phrases and rhyming words. Here are two: My Turtle (Show a picture of a real turtle or a stuffed turtle to introduce this finger play.) This is my turtle (make a fist and extend thumb) He lives in a shell (put thumb in fist) He likes his home very well (pat fist with other hand) He pokes his head out when he wants to eat (extend thumb) And pulls it back when he wants to sleep (thumb in fist) Ten Little Fingers I have ten little fingers and ten little toes (point to body parts throughout) Two little arms and one little nose One little mouth and two little ears Two little eyes for smiles and tears One little head and two little feet One little chin, that makes (child’s name) complete! Visit the public library and find the children’s book section. Ask the children’s librarian to help you find books appropriate for your child’s age and interests. Check to see if there is a “story time” you and your child can attend. When you find a book that your child enjoys be prepared to read it over and over. When choosing books for your child, select sturdy ones with large, colorful pictures and a story that is easy to follow. Choose topics that are interesting to your two year old. Include books about people of different cultures and abilities. Model the joy of reading by sharing books that you enjoy. Find a prepared cake or cookie mix that comes in a box with pictures to illustrate the recipe. Point to each step on the box as you and your child bake together! Sing rhyming finger plays and songs. Alphabet blocks and plastic or cardboard letters are good materials to introduce letter symbols to your two year old. Magnetic letters and a magnetic board or cookie sheet are good, too. Just let your child explore—do not expect him to name the letters yet! Use books as a resource to find answers to your child’s questions.
