A toddler is a young child typically between the ages of 1 and 3 years. During this stage, children experience rapid growth and development, learning to walk, talk, and explore their surroundings. Toddlers are known for their curiosity and often engage in play that helps them develop motor skills and social interactions. At this age, toddlers begin to express their emotions and preferences more clearly. They may show attachment to certain toys, like stuffed animals, and often enjoy activities such as coloring or playing with blocks. This period is crucial for building foundational skills that will support their future learning and development.
