A toddler is a young
child who is of the age of learning to walk, between infancy and childhood.
Toddling usually begins between the ages of 12 and 18 months. During
the toddler stage, the child also learns
a great deal about social roles, develops motor skills,
and first starts to use language. Source: Toddler

Play has been approached by several theorists as the
first form of learning. Children play,
experiment with the world, learn the rules, and learn
to interact. Vygotsky agrees that play is pivotal for children's development,
since they make meaning of their environment through play.
