👉 Toddler engineering, also known as child-directed engineering, is a developmental approach that recognizes and supports the innate curiosity and problem-solving abilities of young children. It involves providing open-ended, hands-on materials and environments that encourage toddlers to explore, experiment, and construct their own solutions to everyday challenges. This method emphasizes the child's active role in learning through play, where they engage in building, sorting, stacking, and manipulating objects to understand cause and effect, spatial relationships, and basic scientific principles. By fostering this natural curiosity, toddler engineering not only enhances cognitive and motor skills but also promotes creativity, critical thinking, and a lifelong love for learning.
