To get your two-year-old daughter to blow her nose, start by encouraging her to practice blowing air through her mouth first. You can do this by holding a tissue in front of her face and asking her to blow to make it move. Once she's comfortable, challenge her to blow through her nose to move the tissue as well [6][4].

Make it fun by turning it into a game, such as blowing a feather or a light object across a table using her nose [5]. Also, showing her how to pretend to blow out birthday candles or imitating animal sounds can help [2]. If she's not interested, keep her nasal passages clear with saline solution until she’s ready to learn [2].
