40+ Amazing Toddler Rainbow Activities

 Inside: Over 40 toddler rainbow activities that include art, sensory, snacks and books. Easy and fun ways to teach color recognition!

When planning ideas for toddlers in our classroom, I look for ways that toddlers can have fun without rigid guidelines.

Basically, I like to set the activity on a low table, pull the chairs away, and let them walk right up and get busy.

Because their attention spans are shorter, they might only want to spend a minute or so and then walk away.

However, they will often return to do more exploring, so we leave it out awhile.

As toddlers transition into preschoolers, they will be able to sit for longer periods of time. So, for now, my goal is to get my toddlers excited about exploring, no matter how short or long they intend to do so.
