Toddler 2 is designed for 18 – 48 month olds and brings the Sparkabilites series up through preschool aged children. The Toddler 2 DVD builds on the Toddler 1 DVD as concepts and skills progress in complexity. Math concepts evolve to include numerical fractions, skip counting and 3D shapes. C-V-C words (ie. cat, jet, pig, dog, bug) are added to demonstrate the rules of reading.
Math – geometry | fractions | addition | subtraction | numeration | 3D forms
Reading – letters | letter sounds | visual discrimination | directionality | c-v-c words
Art – primary & secondary colors | hue | value | saturation
Emotion – happy | sad | mad | ok | disgusted | surprised | anticipation | scared
Motor Skills – throwing | catching | striking | kicking | gymnastics | ballet
Music – strings | woodwinds | percussion | horns
