ANS:
As fine and gross motor skills develop, the toddler enjoys practicing skills such as coloring, turning pages, stacking objects, pushing and pulling toys, molding Play-Doh, running, jumping, and climbing. Around age 3, the toddler may learn to ride a tricycle. The toddler can hold a pencil or a large crayon appropriately and make artwork that is more representative of the object he or she is trying to depict. The toddler does not play interactively with other children; therefore, board games are more appropriate for preschool- and school-age children. Watercolor pencils require fine motor coordination and are more appropriate for a preschool-age child.
