Totally for Twos
Posted by Debra Liverman on 20 Jul 2009 | Posted in: The Mailbox Books
It’s a big world out there, and your two-year-olds are eager to learn about it! Trouble is, teachers have told us that finding books with activities for that age group can be tough.
I’m excited to share a great new book just for these little ones! Totally for Twos from The Mailbox® Books is packed with hundreds of simple and fun learning experiences taken from The Mailbox® magazine Preschool edition. Youngsters will build language skills, explore numbers, sing songs, do some art, explore the senses, and so much more!
Here is a quick summertime song from the book and a few sample pages to try out with your class.
A Summer Song
Help children think of all the fun things they can do in the summer heat. Then personalize this song for each child, inviting her to fill in her favorite summertime activity in the third line.
(sung to the tune of “You Are My Sunshine”)
You know it’s summer! Oh, yes, it’s summer!
It gets so bright and hot outside.
But [Erin] loves it, ’cause (s)he [goes swimming].
Oh, in summer we have so much fun!
Once you try them out, please be sure to stop back by and let me know how they worked with your children. If you’ve already purchased this book and have been using it, I’d love your feedback on that too! I hope you find that it is exactly what you have been asking us for!
Congratulations to Julie Ulm, Norkenzie Christian Preschool; Eugene, OR. She is the winner of a copy of the Best of Mailbox Authors, Prek-K.

I am a toddler teacher. I am stuck using Preschool resource books and have to modify everything to make it developmentally appropriate for my age group. I am buying this book right away and REALLY HOPE we get more resources. I would subscribe to the Mailbox Magazine IMMEDIATELY if I found they were offering a Toddler edition.
This is an awesome addition to our resources. Would love to see more resources for toddlers. Would love to have a subscription to a bi-monthly version of PreK mailbox.
My grandaughter will love this. She needs something and I think this is it.
This is great and I would like to see some more books for this age group. They are ready to learn also!
Thank you so much for something geared to twos! I have already purchased the book for my preschool and wish there was more for the toddler and twos age group from Mailbox - would love to see a Mailbox magazine devoted to tods and twos; even if it wasn’t published every two months.
I’m glad to see more ideas for use with two-year-old’s. I work with Birth to 5-year-old’s in their homes and am always looking for new and exciting ideas to use with wee ones that will assist development and also be simple and fun for parents to do, too.
This book looks like a perfect addition to our Professional Collection for teachers and for Moms. Thank you!
This book looks so fun!
I’m a Pre-K teacher by trade moving into being a SAHM with an almost two-year old at home. I really could use this book with him to keep him busy and learning while we are out of the school setting!
Thanks for sharing it with us!
I work at a childcare center and we have many resource books, including the Mailbox books. Most of the books are written for preschool and k through 6th. I have never come across a book specifically for Two’s. This is exciting-I can’t wait to see it!
I am so excited about this book. I bought it today and cannot wait to start using it next week. I love that it is directed at 2 year olds =)
Thank you thank you for coming up with this terrific book “Totally for Twos”. I work with almost all 2 year olds and I needed to adjust my resources to work for them. Now with this book I can just go to a page and I can plan, so much quicker and easier. I have tons of resource books from The Mailbox have been buying for years, thank you for doing just this age group. The kiddos also like it when we sang the song. They already knew the tune and the other words now they would say, “That’s my name in the song.” Thank you for a product.
I am a lead teacher for the Toddler room at work and I usually have to scale down the preschool activities so this “Totally for Two’s book” would be a great addition to my lesson planning resources.
