*'''Learn to speak:''' This can be taught by a teen, adult or elder controllable Sim clicking on the toddler and choosing Teach to Talk. In general, nothing in particular happens after a toddler learns this. However, in ''The Sims 2'', if two toddlers playing together at a toy box{{confirm}} or [[Activity table|Teeny Tykes Activity Table]]{{vgversion|TS2:FT}} have learned to talk, they can build relationships fairly quickly.

*'''Learn to walk''': This can be taught by a teen, adult or elder controllable Sim clicking on the toddler and choosing Teach to Walk. After learning this skill, a toddler can stand and walk, which is faster than crawling, though they are still slower than older Sims. Toddlers who have learned to walk are able to escape their crib if their [[Fun]] motive gets low. In ''The Sims 2'', they can use the "Play With Toys" interaction on a [[Toy#The Sims 2|toy box]]. In ''The Sims 3'', they can get toys out of [[toy box]]es themselves.

*'''Potty train''': This can be taught by a teen, adult or elder controllable Sim clicking on the Potty Chair and choosing "Potty Train <toddler name>." This cannot be done if the toddler's bladder need is all the way green and the option is only available when the potty chair is empty. If not, the option Empty will appear when the chair is clicked on. It must be emptied after each use (only a teen, adult or elder can perform this action). The best time to attempt potty training is when a toddler's bladder meter is low; the longer the toddler has to sit on the potty chair, the more progress he or she will make in learning the skill. Once a toddler has been potty trained, he or she will be able to use the potty chair when their bladder meter is low, and without supervision, which can be quite helpful. However, if a toddler is left in their crib too long (which they can't leave at their own free will) and their bladder meter goes down to the very bottom, the Sim will fill their nappy and will need to have it changed by a Teen, Young Adult, Adult or Elder Sim.

Toddlers can also learn skills for later life by using certain [[Toy#Skill toys|toys]]. In ''The Sims 2'', they can play with the [[Rip Co. Wobbly Wabbit Head|rabbit head]] for [[charisma]], the [[Rip Co. Xylophone|xylophone]] for [[Creativity (skill)|creativity]], and the [[Baby Brainiac Peg Toybox|block game]] for [[logic]]. Toddlers can use the activity table with the ''FreeTime'' expansion to draw or to play with blocks, allowing them to learn creativity and [[mechanical]] skills, respectively. ''FreeTime'' also allows toddlers to gain Charisma by learning and singing the nursery rhyme.

In ''The Sims 3'', toddlers and children can learn up to three skill points in a skill by using certain toys. These points don't appear until the child grows into a child/teenager (depends on the skill) and attempts something related to the skill (such as cooking a meal or reading a cookbook for the cooking skill).

In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', toddlers do not need to learn these skills to grow up well, as that depends on the level of the toddler's [[aspiration bar]] when he or she grows up. In fact, [[PlantSim]] toddlers{{vgversion|TS2:S}} start out with all three basic skills already learned. However, toddlers will often roll high-value [[Wants and Fears|wants]] to learn each of their three basic skills, so learning them can help a toddler grow up well. Teaching these skills can also be high-value wants for parents, especially those with the [[Family (aspiration)|Family]] or [[Knowledge]] aspirations. With ''[[FreeTime]]'', learning the toddler skills gives the toddler [[Aspiration bar#Lifetime Aspiration|lifetime aspiration]] points. A toddler will form a positive memory of learning the skill from whichever Sim did the last bit of teaching before the skill was learned, and that Sim will get a positive memory of having taught the skill. Not learning the three basic skills will not have any negative effect on a Sim's later life.

''FreeTime'' also adds the Nursery Rhyme skill, which, unlike the three basic skills, can be taught by children as well as by older Sims. Learning this skill enables the toddler to sing the Nursery Rhyme, which will raise [[Music and Dance]] enthusiasm and Charisma skill. Unlike other toddler skills in ''The Sims 2'', the toddler will not get a memory of learning the Nursery Rhyme, but the older Sim will get a memory of having taught it. Also, while the toddler will not gain lifetime aspiration points for learning the Nursery Rhyme, learning it and teaching can be significant wants for toddlers and parents. Also, toddlers who have learned the Nursery Rhyme will frequently roll 500-point wants to sing it with a parent, and 500 points is significant for a toddler. This can be particularly important to PlantSim toddlers, as they do not start out with this skill.

The [[Pasteur's HomoGenius Smart Milk|Smart Milk]] [[Aspiration reward (The Sims 2)|aspiration reward]] will make toddlers learn skills faster. If the ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons|Seasons]]'' expansion is installed, toddlers will learn skills faster in the fall. If the Sim doing the teaching is wearing a [[Thinking Cap]], the toddler will learn faster.

Toddler skills correspond to child skills<sup><ref name=":0" /></sup>.  This means that if a toddler ages up with certain skill levels, it will result in improvements in the child skills they correspond to.
