Toddler Workbook Activities: Part 20

We are on part 20 of our toddler workbook activities, and this set was full of hands-on learning, fine motor practice, and early literacy skills. I love creating simple workbook activities at home that feel playful and engaging while still supporting real developmental skills!

These activities are easy to prep with basic supplies and can be adapted for different ages and skill levels. Here is everything we did in this workbook session!

Here is the link to my 52 Workbook Activities Guide (workbook focused). I also have an 8 Week Activity Guide (list of themed activities to do at home/outside). I also made matching flashcards for Weeks 1-4 and Weeks 5-8!

Here are the links to the 3 main supplies I use – other than colored markers!

1. Sketchbook – It doesn’t bleed through even with sharpie or markers.
2. Dot Markers – Use this for color, number or letter recognition. There is so much you can do with these markers!
3. Dot Stickers – Use this for color recognition and creative crafting. My toddler loves them!

1. Watering the Garden Number Matching Activity

For this activity, I drew 20 blue circles on paper and wrote a different number inside each one. Then I created matching dot stickers with the same numbers.

My toddler’s job was to find the correct number sticker and place it on the matching circle.

This activity helps build:

• Number recognition
• Visual scanning skills
• Sticker placement and fine motor control
• Focus and independent problem solving

Using stickers always increases engagement for toddlers, and turning it into a matching game makes learning feel like play.

2. Uppercase and Lowercase Letter Dog Treat Matching

Next, we did a letter matching activity using a fun pretend play theme. I drew two large dog treat jars and labeled one with uppercase letters and the other with lowercase letters.

Then I cut out small brown paper squares to resemble dog treats. Each “treat” had a letter written on it.

My toddler sorted and placed each treat into the correct jar by matching uppercase and lowercase letters.

This activity supports:

• Letter recognition
• Understanding letter relationships
• Categorization skills
• Fine motor development

Adding a pretend play element like feeding a dog makes learning feel meaningful and exciting.

3. Bumblebee Stripe Fine Motor Activity

I drew several bumblebees and wrote a number on each bee’s wings. My toddler counted the number and then drew the correct number of stripes on the bee’s body.

This activity combines:

• Counting practice
• One to one correspondence
• Pencil control
• Fine motor strengthening

Drawing stripes is a simple but very effective way to build pre writing skills in toddlers.

4. Find and Dot the Letter Activity

This is an activity we repeat often using different letters and numbers. For this workbook session, we focused on the letter K.

I filled the page with different letters, and my toddler searched for every letter K and dotted it.

This activity helps develop:

• Letter recognition
• Visual discrimination
• Attention to detail
• Hand eye coordination

Repeating familiar activity formats with new letters keeps toddlers confident while still challenging them.

5. Color Code Apple Coloring Activity

For the final activity, I drew six apples and wrote a different color word inside each one.

My toddler matched the color word to the correct crayon to figure out how to color each apple.

This activity encourages:

• Color word recognition
• Matching skills
• Early reading exposure
• Independent decision making

Color coding activities are a wonderful bridge between simple coloring and more structured learning tasks.

Why I Love Toddler Workbook Activities

Toddler workbook activities are one of my favorite ways to introduce early learning concepts in a calm and engaging way at home. They are easy to customize, require minimal supplies, and can grow with your child’s abilities.

Most importantly, they create intentional one on one learning time that feels fun instead of pressured.
