Definition of a Toddler

A little person, around 1-2 years old, with a high pitched voice, short attention span, dodgy fine motor skills and a propensity to ‘test’ boundaries.

Sound familiar? Haha, been there!

Toddlers can sometimes be a challenge, but they can be a delight too. Have a look through some of the fun we had when our kids were toddlers. Hopefully there might be a few ideas that you think would suit your little one.
