🌱 Toddler Time with Amethyst at Kidzeum
Toddler Time is a play-based early childhood program designed for toddlers ages 1–3 and their caregivers. Each session encourages sensory exploration, fine motor development, early learning, and meaningful caregiver-child interaction through hands-on play.
This program honors the way toddlers learn best: through movement, repetition, curiosity, and exploration.
🎟 Included with museum admission
🐶 Week 2: Pets We Love
Get ready for a morning of pet-themed play and discovery!
Activities include:
• Pet Grooming sensory station with stuffed animals, brushes, cloths, and pretend shampoo
• Feed the Pet fine motor activity using tweezers, pom-poms, and bowls
• Open-ended crayon exploration and mark making
• Pet-themed playdough mats featuring dogs, cats, bunnies, and birds
• Magnetic tiles and building materials for creating pet homes, beds, and enclosures
Why pet play?
Caring for pets encourages empathy, nurturing behaviors, and imaginative play. Many toddlers naturally slow down and engage deeply when given opportunities to care for others. These activities support fine motor development, problem solving, social-emotional growth, and creativity through play.
🏅 Families who attend the full Toddler Time series will receive a special completion certificate celebrating their child's growth and learning.
👩🏫 Meet Your Educator
