My son is 3 y.o now, he is in process of learning how to write, spell, read and do math. At this age he has mastered his alphabets, numbers up to 30 and he can count by 10's up to 100. We do a lot of singing and reading at bedtime.
It is important for you to stick to the bedtime routine as much as possible with them at this age.
At this age, your child's gross motor skills and fine motor skills have developed/increased rapidly through you. They are trying to figure out the world and put the world together as much as possible in their brain and make sense of it all. Their language skills have increased dramatically, if not, that is ok too, you'll be surprise of how much they are consuming. They love to help with chores, ask questions, increase their self-esteem, and this is the best time to teach them and allow them to express themselves and learn from you.
When my son was 2 years old, I started putting together a binder of all the things I wanted him to improve and make a game out of it into a book. He love the idea of having his own book and seeing his name on the cover, his facial expression was priceless.
A lot of these items were bought from the Dollar Store except for the Velcro, I bought that at Joann Fabrics. I know that some stores such as Hobby Lobby has a binder with cardboard pages in there, I did not know that until after I laminated and created the book. I did not make it out of fabric like some of the quiet books I've seen online.

| This one allows him to correctly spell his name. The Velcro help with his hand and eye coordination. |
 |
| My son actually thought these were roads for his cars, little did he know it is for him to practice writing his alphabets or words. |
 |
| This was also another way to practice writing his alphabets, occasionally we would do this in the car on our way home from daycare or grocery store. |
These flash cards were also purchased at the Dollar Store, I noticed that he was having a hard time matching letters with objects, so I decided to put Velcro on the back and he can match them up to each other.
 |
| Eventually, he would need to learn how to tell time, so he has his own clock and own hands to spin around. |
 |
| Improve counting and hand/eye coordination. |
 |
| It's never too early to teach them math. |
 |
| Ahhh yes, potty training... my son is the type that learns through observation and repetitive (like most 2-3 year olds). Before we started actually potty training, we went through each steps and he was able to verbalize the steps to me. |
 |
| This was also found at the Dollar Store, it is called "Build your own town", it has stickers, what 2 year old doesn't like stickers! |
 |
| My son likes to participate and we were working on counting. |
 |
| These are awesome! He loves playing with them in the car. |
 |
| Learning basic shapes. |
 |
| Opportunity to learn colors and objects. |
 |
| Another counting idea, the color tabs pulls down. I used scotch tapes to add the tabs so you can quiz them. |
 |
| My son love this one, he can name the animals, match and spell them out to me. |
HOPE YOUR CHILD ENJOYS HAVING THEIR OWN BOOK!!
