Ways to Get Toddlers into the Ideal Emotion for Learning Skills

How To Get Toddlers into the Ideal Mood for Learning Toddler Skills: just a few quick ideas to get you started.

Happy- ideal Emotion for Communication and Thinking
Serve a toddler from a plate of home cooked food. Happy+1 4hrs.
Have an adult give a bath: Happy +1 4hrs
Give the toddler food from an adults inventory/a harvestable (fruit or vegtable). Happy +1 4hrs
Not nearly as cute but simply have the toddler eat a harvestable from their own inventory. Happy +1 4hrs
Place the skilling object in front of a lit fire. Happy +1 while in vicinity.
Have an adult talk to the toddler: Happy +1 duration varies on how long the conversation was.
Sharing the Love: From Charmer Trait: Happy +1 2 hrs
Learning Something New: From Inquisitive Trait: Happy +1 4hrs (Basically just learning a new skill gives this moodlet for toddlers with the Inquisitive Trait)

Playful- ideal Emotion for Imagination
Have an adult give a bubble bath: Playful +1 4hrs
Have the toddler tell someone a knock-knock joke: Playful+1 4hrs (Toddler Communication skill L4)

Energized- ideal Emotion for Movement
Have an adult ‘Play’ with the toddler: Energized +1 2hrs. (Seems more reliable if the parent is energized themselves)
Use the 'Wander' action (L3 Movement skill) Energized+1 4hrs  (@Junan)
"Take Clothes Off" interaction (actually changes them into sleepwear) Energized+1 4h (@Junan)
Feed your Toddler cake Energized +2. (Warning is followed by a sugar crash angry moodlet some time later lol!) (@Ninane)

Bonus for Adults: Once your toddler gains skill levels to 3 or 5 they get a Happy +1 8hrs moodlet ‘Growing So Fast’

Angry: If for some reason, you want an angry toddler just ask to give them a bath when their hygiene need is filled or something like that. Generally offering to fill an already filled need makes the toddler angry +1 1hr. Especially when their Thinking skills are low.

Thanks so much for this!  *bookmarks

No worries @oshizu  I'm adding more as I play through. So far eating a harvestable is hands down the quickest way for making the little tikes happy but not nearly the cutest.

If their movement skill is level 3 or higher, have them Wander for long enough to get a +1 4h energized moodlet.

Similarly, there's a "Take Clothes Off" interaction (actually changes them into sleepwear) for another +1 4h energized.

You can get +2 energised by feeding them cake. It's followed by an angry moodlet once their sugar high crashes, though

Too bad it doesn't change them into the 'naked' clothing (like for baths) as toddlers seem to love to run around naked. LOL

Yes I found that one out the hard way! lol. It's quite adorable.

Keep the ideas coming! It's great to have everyone's input.

My non-energized sim dad just gave his toddler a normal bath and the toddler got a +1 energized moodlet "Splashy Splashy" for 4 hours.

If the toddler is hungry, it's +1 Sad for a Clingy toddler but otherwise it's +1 Angry. Same thing with all low needs, I presume.

Also, an Independent toddler gets a +1 1h Angry moodlet for playing at a dollhouse, even if alone.

This also happens with ice cream from Cool Kitchen Stuff.
