Activities for your toddler
As your child continues to grow and explore, it is important to find engaging and age-appropriate activities for them.
Birmingham has many exciting opportunities for you and your child to discover and enjoy together.
The physical activity guidelines say that toddlers between 1 to 2 years should spend at least three hours (180 minutes) each day taking part in different physical activities.
