at least an hour but maybe no longer than 2 hrs. Depends also on the childs energy level, some kids need longer nap than others...espeacially if they have been running around etc....

Small children require between 9-11 hours of sleep per day. This can be all at once or broken up into smaller parts. So if your toddler sleeps for 9 hours at night, he should have either a morning and afternoon nap of 1 hour each, or an afternoon nap of 2 hours.
Some children do not need as much sleep, and depending on what time your child gets up in the morning ( I think a nap should be 4 hours after waking up, and wake up from afternoon nap 4 hours at least before bed), your toddler might only have an afternoon or morning nap.
My son is 3, and I am phasing out naps. On days that he wakes up early, or is extra irritable, I have him nap in the afternoon. He usually naps for 2 hours. It does make it harder for him to go to bed though.

depending on the age, and what time he gets up. When my son was 2 if he got up at 8 or 9 in the morn he would take a 2 hr nap in the afternoon anything longer then that he was up half the night. now that hes four if he takes a nap hes up till 11 or 12.

My daughter is two. She switched from 2 naps to a million at twelve months. in view that then her naps are from very virtually 2 hours to 3 hours long. She is going to mattress approx 8-8:30, and wakes up around 7am. Naps from a million:30- approximately 3:30-4:00.

My toddler's naps are usually 2 hours but he will occasionally nap for three if he is very tired.

My 2 year old (26mo to be exact) has one nap a day for about 2-3 hours. every once in a while she will go without a nap, but makes for a very cranky kid around dinner time.

a toddler should always take a nap after lunch. when he/she is done eating take him/her a bath. this will relax him/her. put him/her to bed and wake them up around 1pm. NEVER allow the toddler to take a nap after 1pm. if you do he/she will be giving you a hard time to go to sleep at bedtime. my sister have 2 toddlers and she does not make a schedule for them to take a nap. there are times that they don't take a nap and they be up real late.

my son is 4 and I give him a nap from anywhere from about an hour to two depending on how early he wakes up in the morning and how late in the afternoon it is when he finally falls asleep.
