There are many activities for 2 year olds that can be performed.  Thinking and reacting to situations may differ from child to child of same age. Their likings and interest may also be different that resembles the uniqueness of child. The activities should be planned by parents according to the interest of their child. Coordination of hand and eye, speaking skill, and motor movements are developed at the age of 2. Thus the activities should help in developing these skills in child. The activities that can be carried out are kitchen activity, throwing and arranging activity, gluing, play dough, coloring and painting, bathtub activity and tea party activity. At this age child tries to copy whatever parents are doing hence while in kitchen provide your child safe plastic utensils.

You can also give the child banana and teach him how to peel it. Every child will not be able to peel it successfully and there are chances that banana turn into some different shape. The other activities for 2 year olds is playing dough, child love to play with it as they can squeeze it and give it different shapes. Playing dough can be bought from the market or can be made at home using flour, food colors and water. The other activity which will help in developing the skills of your child is gluing. In this activity you can provide the child with cardboard, pieces of paper and glue. Then show the child what to do with those items by sticking some pieces of paper by yourself.

Coloring and painting is also a good activity for 2 year olds, you can draw some shapes and ask your child to color it. You can also give your child a blank paper and crayons to draw anything with their imaginations. Some child also love playing in water, bathtub activity is fun thing for them. To develop skills throwing activity is also beneficial, in this balls will be required which will be thrown. These balls can be made from newspapers by crushing them. Arranging colored balls and blocks according to color and shapes is also a learning activity. Tea party and photo session of your child with toys is also loved by child. Child can pose in different form with toys.

At 2 years, periods of routine and transitions are still numerous. So it is good to focus on those periods because they occupy much of the day.

To me, he must first carefully plan the routines and transitions and then plan for small business. Remember, with meals, naps, learning to cleanliness, washing hands, our little treasures are pretty busy in the day.
