At 18–24 months, your toddler’s growing independence and developing communication skills bring new possibilities to everyday play. They may be finding different ways to make themselves understood, wanting to do more for themselves, or returning to favourite activities as they practise what they’re learning.
 
The 18–24 Months Pack from Busy Brains Activity Packs brings together 50+ simple activities for toddlers with developmental milestone guidance. Thoughtfully chosen to support language, movement, and emotional development, the ideas help you enjoy time with your toddler while understanding more about the skills they’re developing.

Created by a former Primary Deputy Headteacher and mum of three, the pack combines professional knowledge with an understanding of everyday family life. You’ll find activities to enjoy together, alongside ideas your toddler can explore more independently with you nearby.

The pack contains 31 double-sided, wipe-clean activity cards with colour photographs. An egg timer symbol shows how long each activity takes to prepare, helping you choose an idea that fits your day. Selected cards also include QR codes for additional online content and printable resources.

Also included:

• Developmental milestone guidance for children aged 18–24 months
• Activities for toddlers to encourage language, movement, and emotional development
• Activities to develop oral motor skills used in speaking and eating
• Ideas to support listening skills and attention
• “Did you know?” sections sharing useful child development research and insights

Every child develops at their own pace. Clear guidance helps you choose play ideas that suit your toddler’s interests and emerging abilities, giving you practical ways to support them through a stage of growing independence.
