February is a great month for cozy play, hands-on learning, and gentle Valentine’s Day fun with young children. With cold weather still keeping many of us indoors, this is the perfect time to lean into simple, meaningful activities that support learning through play without adding stress to your day. Our February toddler activity list printable is designed to make life easier for busy mums, childcare providers, and preschool programs who want ready-to-go ideas for the entire month.
This printable is part of our full set of monthly toddler activity lists, with one page for each month of the year. You can print it out and instantly have a daily play plan filled with easy, low-prep activities using household items. The ideas are playful, age-appropriate, and focused on sensory play, fine motor skills, movement, and positive interactions. Most activities are perfect for young toddlers and young kids, but they are easy to adapt for slightly older children too, making them a great fit for February toddler activities at home or in childcare settings.
What Age Are The Toddler February Activities on This List Best For?
This February activity list is designed primarily for toddlers ages 1.5 to 4 years old. It works well for young toddlers, preschoolers, and even babies with adult support. The open-ended nature of the activities makes them easy to adapt for kids of all ages. Younger children can explore materials freely with their little hands, while older children can add counting, sorting, or storytelling elements for deeper learning. This makes it a great theme for February preschool themes and mixed-age groups.
