2. Closer to three years - master the concept of “more-less” (determine the number of objects in a group - which ones are more and which ones are smaller).
3. Learn to distinguish between the number of objects “one” and “two”. (At a minimum. You can go further, learn to count to 3 - 4, but not all children aged 2 to 3 can do this - take into account the child’s interest and his abilities).

8. Play riddles - the mother describes an object or animal in the simplest form, the child guesses it from the description (for example - small, fluffy, with long white ears, jumps like that and eats carrots, who is it? Who says “moo-moo” and gives milk? Etc. Gradually you can complicate the riddles).
9. Guess the animal from the description.
10. Stack several nesting dolls and cups into each other.

13. Closer to three years - designing simple structures according to drawings
14. Starting from 2.5 years old - play “Fold the Square” by Nikitin (at first - together with the child, but very quickly children learn to assemble it on their own)
15. Starting from 2.5 years old – play with prefabricated puzzles
16. Learn to classify objects according to a general characteristic (for example: cards with pictures of toys, food, animals are laid out in front of the child. The child is asked to arrange them into appropriate groups (for example, toys in a box, food in a “refrigerator”, animals in a “house”). At first, the child learns to arrange objects with the active help of his mother.For the learning to be successful, it is better to play for a long time with the same set of objects (for example, to begin with, for a long time sorting cards of only toys and food).
Cards or wooden “Pick a Group” toys are great for mastering this skill:
17. Classification of objects - play the game “what’s in this room?” (find what is round in this room? What is soft in this room, etc.).
18. Games with Dienesh blocks, with a simple construction set, and other suitable items (toys, pasta, buttons, beads, etc.) by type:
– find objects, figures of the same shape;
– find objects, figures of the same color;
– find objects, figures of the same size;
– find the same figures by size, thickness and other characteristics.
19. Games with Cuisenaire sticks.
20. Play “part and whole” – “whose tail is this”, “match the roof to the house”, etc.
21. Learn to find a figure based on two signs (for example, find a large yellow circle (in a group of objects there is also a small yellow circle and circles of other colors), a small red square, etc.).
22. Closer to three years (and very individually) - find mistakes in pictures (working with manuals) - what is missing, what is wrong, which of the objects is the wrong color, etc. The very inexpensive manuals from the “Smart Books” series are great for this:
Studying the properties of objects.
1. Colors of objects.
2. Geometric figures, shapes. 3. Long-short. 4. High - low. 5. Wide-narrow. 6. Same and different (closer to three years). 7. Warm-cold. 8. Hard-soft. 9. Smooth-rough. 10. Heavy-light. 11. Taste, smell. Development of attention.

Find the red car!), search in a picture in a book, etc. .P. – you can play anytime, anywhere. This game is very simple, children are easily drawn into it. At the same time, attention and the ability to concentrate it develop very well.
2. The game “Find a Pair” is a more complicated version than it was for a year or two - find a pair among objects that are very similar to each other.
3. Find the same pattern (pairs of mittens, hats, cups and saucers, patches for towels, roofs for houses, etc.)
5. Games with Dienesh blocks, Cuisenaire sticks.
6. Search for objects based on one characteristic - find what is red, hard, soft, round, large, etc. in this room. (you can play anywhere).
7. Search for objects based on two characteristics - find what is large and white, small and hard, etc. in this room.
8. Play hide and seek with the child (hide so that the baby can easily find it, prompt the child by calling him with your voice). How to develop memory.
1. “What’s missing?” - remember the pictures (toys) laid out on the table, guess which picture mom hid. Memorizing objects is carried out in a playful way - the mother tells a fairy tale about objects that are laid out on the table; during the process of the fairy tale, the child manages to remember its characters well. After this, mom takes one of them and asks “who is missing?” You can read more about how to play this game with very young children here.
2. What appeared? – we play according to the same principle as written in the previous paragraph, but we do not hide, but add toys, the child must determine which toy the mother added.
3. Hide 3-4 toys with the child. Then ask him to find them (we search from memory).
4. Ask the child to bring 2-3 items (we bring items from memory).

7. Game “Find a Pair” with hide and seek – the mother shows the child a picture and hides it behind her back. Asks to find the same picture in a group of cards (the child looks for a paired picture without holding it in his hand, as usual, but from memory)
8. Game of “thimbles”. We take multi-colored cups and put a toy under one of them. We swap the cups several times, then ask them to find where the toy is hidden (we gradually increase the number of toys and cups).
9. “Memory” – a game with 2-3 cards. We put cards in front of the child, the child remembers them (to help him, you can tell a fairy tale about the heroes who are drawn in the pictures; while listening to the fairy tale, the child will remember the location of the cards well. The “fairy tale” can be very simple from 4-5 sentences). We turn the cards picture side down - this way, all the pictures are hidden from the baby and are not visible to him. We ask the child to find where a certain card is located from memory (“find which card has a bear on it?”). Another version of “Memory” can be found here. Physical development.

Activities and games during summer walks for children 3 years old.
- Seal
Details Author: Nalivaykina Lyudmila Published May 27, 2016
Summer is coming - a time of long walks, gentle sunshine and fresh air. In the summer, staying at home is a real crime - you want to walk as much as possible and enjoy the summer days.
Summer is not a reason to stop working with children. You can also play educational games during a walk in the summer.
Here you will find a selection of educational games and summer activities that can be done outside. Let your motto be “one walk - one educational game” - this pace will not tire either mother or child, and this summer you will not only relax, but also teach your fidget something useful.
Sports activities:
Physical exercise is just as important for three-year-olds as intellectual exercise. When the child goes to school, he will be able to do all the exercises in physical education lessons. He will also be able to play outdoor games with classmates without any problems and will be able to show his endurance and dexterity. At this age, children strive to spend time with those with whom they find it interesting and fun. If your child is sedentary and inactive, the number of his friends may decrease sharply.
Start your morning with a simple invigorating exercise. Do some exercises to warm up your muscles and stretch. If you wish, you can start your morning with a run.
Girls love different dances, the main thing is that cheerful music is playing at this moment. Boys prefer playing with a ball. You can include all this in your daily routine and have fun together.
In any case, you will need all kinds of equipment to perform the exercises: small dumbbells, balls, a jump rope, hoops, and so on.
Three-year-old children are very inquisitive and smart. At this age, children develop their first habits. If you are able to correctly create a daily routine for your child and keep him busy with useful and educational exercises, your work will definitely be rewarded.
Developing attention while walking.
"Find"
Find where the red car is here? Can you find a birch tree? Where's the yellow bench? And so on. These simple tasks develop the child's attention well. You can start with simple tasks, and gradually complicate the description of the objects you need to find:
“Find the little green leaf”, “find the black bird”, “find the little dog”, etc.
"Guess and find."
Describe to your child an object that is on the playground, but do not name it. Let the child guess what you wished for and find this item. For example:
“Find what I wished for - it’s on this playground, it’s made of wooden boards, people like to sit on it” (bench).
"Stories for attention."
Come up with a simple story for your child to listen to.
The plot could be like this:
A hedgehog went out for a walk. There he met a squirrel and a bunny. They started playing together. Suddenly a wind blew, it swirled everything around, there was a lot of dust, and when the wind died down, it turned out that only a hedgehog and a squirrel remained in the clearing. Guess who was carried away by the wind?
This is just an approximate “story plan”; the real story, of course, will be richer in detail and more interesting. So that the child can clearly remember all the characters in the fairy tale and quickly be able to answer the question “who is missing?” - you need to try to come up with a story so that the names of all the characters (hedgehog, bunny, squirrel) are heard at least 4-5 times (the more, the better). Thanks to this, the child will have time to get used to each of the characters, easily remember them and be able to easily answer the question “Who is missing?”
To begin with, you can come up with a very simple version of a story to develop attention - it will feature only two heroes. Gradually, the number of heroes who need to be remembered can be increased.
Games with sticks and stones.
Sticks and pebbles are an excellent material for educational games outdoors:
— You can simply count pebbles and sticks.
— They can be used to decorate cakes and sand cakes.
- You can use them to lay out various figures and silhouettes on the sand.
— With a stick you can draw shapes, letters, numbers and pictures on the sand.
— You can also make letters, numbers, and words from pebbles.
— You can play the game “who is the odd one out” (put three pebbles and one stick in front of the child, let him guess which item is the odd one out. You can also look for the extra item in other combinations: three large pebbles and one small one, three long sticks, one short, three green twigs and one dry, three white pebbles, one black, etc.).
— You can bury a pebble in the sand and ask the child to find it.
"Finders" - "searchers".
You can play summer “finders” with your child. On a piece of paper there is an image of various objects that need to be found on the street.
Here are my summer finds (you can download them by clicking on the picture ):
Play detective with your child - try to travel around the area and find all the objects that are drawn in the picture. Found items can be marked with a tick in a special “window”.
And if you like searching and finding, then the book “Finders” will certainly not leave you indifferent . We walk and play - we get to know the world":
Garden.
Your child will be incredibly happy and interested if you together organize his own small garden outside this summer. Even if you live in a high-rise building, you will definitely find a secluded place on the lawn near your house. Together with your baby, fence it off with pebbles or a small fence, clear it of vegetation, loosen the soil and water it.
And then do whatever you want: plant flowers, carrots, strawberries together... Or maybe you should plant a real beauty - grow a huge sunflower from a small seed?
Teach your child to look after your pets - weed weeds, water (in the morning or evening, explain what will happen if you water the garden in the middle of the day under the hot rays of the sun). Together, rejoice at the first shoots, admire the results of your work, and decorate the flowerbed with funny figures.
What does this give to the child?
Working in the garden for a child is his first biology lessons, a visual acquaintance with the life of plants. In addition, such manual labor develops motor skills, teaches responsibility, and simply makes you happy.
Fun math for a walk.
While walking on the street, you can play math games with your child:
— Mom draws small circles on the asphalt (flowers, boats, etc.). Then he asks the child to count how many circles are drawn. When the counting is done, mom draws the required number next to the circles (for example, three circles - draw the number 3).
— Mom draws a number on the asphalt and asks the child to put as many pebbles (flowers, twigs) next to it as the number represents (for example, next to the number 2 we put 2 flowers).
- Another simple and accessible way to teach counting while walking is to count various objects - steps, cars, pebbles, benches, trees, etc.
— While walking in the yard, play shopping with your child . You can sell and buy anything. And pebbles or leaves can serve as money. A spatula costs three rubles, which means we give mom three pebbles for it. And the bucket costs five - try to count out the required number of “coins”.
— We study “more and less.” We place three blades of grass and two pebbles in front of the child. Let the child answer which is more - pebbles or blades of grass.
— For this game you will need small animal figurines (for example, from a Kinder Surprise). A bunny, a bear and a squirrel found three “berries” in the garden (we place three pebbles in front of the child). Are there enough berries to feed all your friends? What if there are two “berries”?
One day one letter.
You can quite successfully teach your child letters on the street. There are a lot of games for learning letters outdoors. For example:
— Mom draws a letter on the asphalt with chalk and memorizes it with the child. Then asks him to name words that begin with this letter (on his own or with his mother’s prompts). When the child names a word, the mother draws a picture depicting this word (children love it when adults draw something for them, so drawing is a great way to attract the child’s attention to learning letters).
— Mom draws a lot of letters on the asphalt with chalk, among which will be the letter that the child learned today. The mother asks the baby to find the desired letter among all the letters and circle it (or cross it out). (“Look how many different letters! Find where the letter “K” is hidden!).
— Mom draws letters in chalk at a short distance from each other. Then he asks the child to jump over the letters as if over bumps. When jumping on each letter, the child must remember the word that begins with this letter (the mother can give hints at the same time) or simply remember the name of the letter together with the mother.
— the mother begins to draw a letter with chalk, stops somewhere in the middle, then hands the chalk to the child and asks him to finish drawing the letter.
- the mother draws a letter on the asphalt (so that it can be painted) and asks the child to color this letter with chalk.
- the oldest way of learning letters from our mothers and grandmothers - we study the letters on signs and plates that you see on the street.
