Incorporate Storytime for Learning
Storytime is a magical way to expand your toddler’s vocabulary. Choose colorful books and make funny voices to keep it exciting. Reading each day helps kids learn new words naturally. For example, my son learned ‘giraffe’ because it became his favorite animal in a book. It’s amazing how a simple story can teach your child multiple words!

Singing Nursery Rhymes
Nursery rhymes are catchy and fun! Singing them helps toddlers remember words. Songs like ‘Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star’ and ‘Baa Baa Black Sheep’ are great starters. My daughter loves ‘The Wheels on the Bus,’ and now she recognizes words like ‘wheels’ and ‘bus’ everywhere. It’s a fun, musical way to learn.

Using Everyday Objects
Walk around the house or garden and name objects to your toddler. Use simple sentences like ‘This is a chair’ or ‘Look at the tree.’ Once, while grocery shopping, we named fruits, and my daughter proudly remembered ‘apple’ and ‘banana’ during dinner. These daily interactions are powerful!

Create a Word-Rich Environment
Surround your toddler with words! Label objects at home with simple tags like ‘table’ or ‘door.’ Point out words during your daily routine. We labeled our kitchen, and soon, my son was excitedly calling out ‘fridge’ and ‘sink.’ It’s a wonderful way to build a rich vocabulary environment.

Encouraging Repetition and Praise
Toddlers learn through repetition and praise. Repeat new words often and celebrate when your child uses them. My daughter beams with pride when I cheer her for saying ‘please’ and ‘thank you.’ This positive reinforcement encourages more talking and learning.
