Toddler routine

littlemrs220 · August 2014

Hi ladies....I've never posted here but thought this is the place to ask. I have a 2 year old and due in 8 weeks. We have a great routine but I really want to start more of a structured "school" or learning centered morning and get a routine in place before baby comes. Just wondering what sort of things you do with your toddler? Ideas for routine or is there a curriculum you follow? TIA I know she is young and her attention span is short just looking for some advice.

Our routine is:
breakfast
prayer and praise time
brush teeth/get dressed
errands/library storytime/playdate OR free play while I do chores
snack
more play time
lunch
read aloud time
nap (for A.)/quiet time for J.
free play
make dinner
playtime
bedtime stuff

I will be starting a Bible story of the week thing soon. We will probably do those activities after snack time in the morning. It's based on the free God's Little Explorer's curriculum.

I don't attach specific times to anything. With a 4 yo, 2 1/2 yo, and 11 mo I'd never be able to stick to it. But a routine works for us.

Give yourself a break! You're due in 8 weeks! The baby will throw everything out of whack and it will be really hard to keep up with something structured when baby comes. We have really lose structure. Wake up, eat, play inside, snack, play outside, lunch, nap, play inside snack, play outside, supper. We try to read a gazillion books in there. I talk about colors of things and we count things. That's all a kid really needs right now. We've just started some homeschooling with my 3 year old but we're doing it earlier than needed. The best way to increase attention span is to start reading stories. They will be able to sit through more and more as you do more.
