You could do it first and then have her to do what you did. Pick her up and jump her yourself.(kinda like 1 2 3 jump!) Or put stuff in front of her and tell her to go with you to hop over things. When my niece learned man she was jumpin all the time! :) good luck!

You could hold things up high - seriously. Also does she have a big head - theres scientific reason behind this on why kids start jumping late.
My son learned how to do jump playing 5 little monkeys jumping on the bed. Although we just pretended to fall off.

They have these outdoor building blocks at preschools that look like huge legos (they even fit together like legos) that the kids drag around and make platforms out of. They take flying leaps of them in lines lol You could try getting her to jump OFF things.... outdoor things unless you want her thinking its acceptable to leap from the couch to the coffee table. We also do sneaky snake. A jump rope laid on the ground and we slither it back and forth NOT up and down and have the kids jump over it to avoid getting eaten by the sneaky snake! Jump every chance you get with her-- lets jump to the car! Lets jump over these cracks in the sidewalk! Lets jump like bunnies/frogs! She'll get it eventually don't worry! :D

Jump up and down yourself, two year olds do whatever they see other adults doing.

You jump, then hold under her arms and lift her up a little off the ground, then have her do it.

If you have access to a trampoline, try jumping on it with her while holding her hands. At first, she will just "walk" on it, but after a while she will catch on. It worked for my girls!

you do it first and try to have him imitate it... it will take some time but he will soon get the hang of it. Kids imitate what grownups do.

they learn by you showing them how to do it.
