The best thing you can do is KEEP HER AWAY FROM TV! Allow her to be creative and play. Give her blocks, crayons, dress up, anything that can makes her use her imagination. Also, surround her with books, read to her, show her pictures, and it is OK to let her look at them upside down and chew on them. Add kiddie rhyming music to the mix.

Spend time with her. Read lots of books. Play lots of interactive games. Sing sons like the ABCs or any other educational song. Make it a point to play all you can because putting a child in front of a toy--sure it works but nothing is better then taking that toy and playing with it together. Go to zoos, children's museums, and aquariums. Learn about animals. Take her places and explain what she is seeing. Get interactive. Find out what her interests are and make them into something else. Play board games like Shoots and Ladders or Candy Lane to help with coordination and colors. The most important thing is to be there and care about her. She's doing a lot of social development now so be social. Go out and meet other children her age. Join a group. There are so many things that we do but don't realize it until our kids are in school.

First, you need to discover what kind of learner your daughter is. Is she an auditory learner who follows verbal instructions quickly? Or is she a visual learner who retains information effectively through pictures and other visual aids. Or is she one who is hyperactive and needs to express her thoughts through actions and gestures?
After you have determined her learning style, use appropriate teaching tools to help your child learn. If she's an auditory learner, buy her storybooks and read to her or buy CDs with storytelling content. If she's a visual learner, then arouse her interest with attractive alphabet posters etc.
Food consumption also plays an important role in developing your toddler's brain power. Cut down on sugary food and look out for food that enhances on the brain development of the child.

I am not a therapist nor a teacher however I have read to my son and niece since they were younger than 2. They will both sit and listen to someone read books for hours and explain the pictures. They have a vast knowledge of alot of different subjects. Now my son 17 and my niece 7 will still enjoy me reading to them if its something they are interested in.
Give your toddler lots of interaction with you talking, explaining things he/she points at and seems interested in. When you go on walks, in stores, when watching made for children T.V. explain whats going on in the shows. Even if you think she/he cannot understand what your saying they will absorb mulitiple amounts of information from your attentiveness to the things they find interesting. It seems time consuming but you may also find your "inner child" and bond closer than ever with your toddler.
God bless you both ~i~

Read to her, introduce some classical music and give her some musical instruments to play with. These have all been proven to increase a child's I.Q.
