Under the Trees & In the Yard
Toddlers can slide down a pretend waterfall, gather and sort leaves, play music on tree stump drums, dig in a caterpillar sandbox, plant vegetables and flowers, and play in a nursery rhyme house. While busy at play, toddlers are developing fundamental math, language, motor, and cooperative learning skills that will last a lifetime.
