Grocery shopping for toddlers
Grocery shopping for toddlers
Grocery stores are full of many things parents need, including a vocabulary for their toddlers!
By the YeahBaby.com editorial staff
Naming things your toddler sees will help them learn the words for such things. And there are plenty of words to be learned in the grocery store!
Toddler activity:
Create a grocery list of items needed for your household. Hold up your carton of milk and ask your little shopper if you need more milk. Do the same for other favorite foods for which your toddler is emotionally attached. Once the list is created, head off to the local grocery.
Make sure to go through the fruit and vegetable isle and say the names of the most common produce. Have your toddler repeat the words after you. While at the grocery store, let the toddler choose a fruit and/or vegetable. Use their choice as a dish in your next meal.
Variations:
Take a shopping trip to the hardware store or a convenience store.
YeahBaby thoughts:
This toddler activity also teaches the value of planning. Your grocery list helps ensure nothing is forgotten. Who knew so much could be learned at the local grocery?
