you don't need to formally plan for under 3's - apart from that its hard to do that anyway.
activities for such young ones should be child led - giving them opportunities to explore different equipment/resources.
if you really want a 'focused' activity - what about paint - put it on paper plates, roll out a sheet of paper and let them feel the paint
make a treasure bag or basket
listen to noises - ring a bell, use a (music) triangle, rattle some rice in a bottle - help child to 'listen'
make some sensory bottles - noisy ones, with water/oil adding glitter, sand, tiny balls etc (make sure the lids are sealed tight with glue and tape)
use the development matters/look listen note sections of eYfs for more ideas
