Morning Routines for Toddlers

Start With a Fun Wake-Up Call

Start your morning right with a fun wake-up call! Forget the noisy alarms. Instead, try a gentle touch, a favorite song, or a funny voice. My son loves when I sing his favorite nursery rhyme. It’s amusing and sets a positive tone. Toddlers generally wake up happier with a gentle, fun wake-up routine.

Create a Wholesome Breakfast Routine

A nutritious breakfast is essential for energetic toddlers. However, getting them to eat can sometimes be a circus act. Making breakfast fun can make a big difference!

Try these tips to make breakfast more appealing:

  • Arrange fruit slices into smiley faces
  • Use cookie cutters for their toast
  • Try ‘pancake art’ mornings

Creating a joyful and engaging breakfast can ensure a balanced meal for your little one while sparking joy in the morning!

Involve Them in Getting Dressed

Turn getting dressed into a collaborative activity. Toddlers thrive on feeling independent. Offer them a choice between two outfits. It makes them feel involved and reduces morning outfit battles. My trick? Let them pick a ‘superhero’ outfit once a week. It adds excitement and eases the dressing process.

Make Brushing Teeth a Game

Brushing teeth doesn’t have to be a battle. Turn it into a game. We use a sand timer and a race car toothbrush. It’s engaging and helps maintain those pearly whites! Humorously, my son loves pretending he’s a dragon roaring while brushing. Start their day with a fresh, giggly smile.

Plan a Simple Morning Activity

A simple morning activity can do wonders. Whether it’s a quick puzzle, a doodle session, or a brief story time, it’s about easing them into the day. My little girl loves drawing smiley faces while I pack her bag. These moments can turn chaotic mornings into fun experiences.

Prepare for Smooth Goodbyes

Smooth goodbyes are a priority. Create a special goodbye ritual – a secret handshake, a hug and kiss combo, or a funny face competition. It makes parting less stressful. I give my daughter a ‘love pebble’ to hold until we reunite. This tiny ritual brings immense comfort.
