Reader Sample Schedules: 2 year olds

by

Comment on this post to add your individual children’s sample schedules. Please include the age for the sample schedule. As you comment, I will organize the sample schedules into the main body of this post. Add them for any age; you don’t have to do all of them.

2 Year Old

  •  Jennifer H. said…26-month-old boy (this has been our schedule ever since he went to one nap per day):

    ~8:30 am – wake, eat, have diaper-less time (unless we’re going out)
    ~12:30 pm – lunch
    2 pm – get a diaper, take a nap
    5 pm – wake
    6 pm – dinner
    9 pm – get ready for bed
    ~9:15 – 9:30 – in bed

    After breakfast, and after his younger brother is napping, we have our Bible reading time; if we have errands to do, we do them around 10 am after his brother wakes up and feeds.

    It’s summer, so independent play time is often spent on the porch or on the deck with a few toys and sticks and rocks

  • Cindy said…2 yr old girl (25 months)

    8am – wake up, diaper change, dress, eat breakfast
    8:45-9:15 ish – independent play in room

    noon – lunch
    12:45 – 3:30ish – nap

    4:30 – 6ish – lately we are watching your baby can Read DVD, then play time with mommy; sometimes we have a play date with other friends.
    6pm – dinner

    7:30 – bath and get ready for bed, stories, prayers with daddy & mommy

    *2 mornings a week he goes to preschool from 9:30-12:30 (he then eats lunch and goes down for nap at 1:30)
    ** we live in the Middle East so outdoor playtime is difficult in the summer because of the extreme heat. We find indoor activities in the morning and after dinner he can play outside because it’s cooler.
    ** he’s still in crib if that makes a difference to anyone
