Which activity is considered age-appropriate for a 2-year-old toddler?

  1. Creating a rock collection

  2. Learning the alphabet with flash cards

  3. Putting together a large-piece puzzle

  4. Riding a tricycle

The correct answer is: Putting together a large-piece puzzle

For a 2-year-old toddler, certain activities align more closely with their developmental capabilities and interests. Putting together a large-piece puzzle is a suitable activity at this age because it promotes fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and cognitive development. Toddlers are beginning to grasp the concept of fitting pieces together and enjoy exploring how objects can be manipulated, making puzzles a fun and engaging activity for them. At this age, toddlers typically show an interest in simple, hands-on activities and enjoy the satisfaction of completing a task. They are also in the process of mastering skills related to problem-solving and spatial awareness, which puzzles encourage in a playful way. The use of large pieces is particularly appropriate as they help prevent frustration and are easier for little hands to manage. In contrast, the other activities present either exceed typical developmental skills for this age group or introduce concepts that may not resonate well with their current capabilities, making them less appropriate for toddlers.
