I was a teacher in a two's classroom for a couple of years and I have to say, most of what we taught, we taught through play and exposure in books and art activities. We didn't explicityly "teach" as you would see done in a classroom for older children, nor would I suggest such "teaching." Your child is two and will learn simply by being an playing so don't stress out about anything on any of the lists offered here.
Focus on what you see as priorities to you and the day to day needs of your family and family schedule. For many families the two biggest priorities with kids this age are, Safety issues and hygeine, as well as communication.
Communication means teaching them how to express there emotions, needs and wants in appropriate ways vs. inappropriate ways. (Kids at this age have a tendency to grab, throw fits, pout, scream or use physical means to get what they want - part of the learning process is modeling for them while correcting) I know you want the cookie, but dinner is almost ready having a fit will not change that - how else you could you tell me you are frustrated/disappointed? . . . you know the typical drill. There is a lot of learning going on in these exchanges alone.
Mostly it is great if you are engaging with your child, facilitating opportunities for your child to play "with" others (which, at this age usually really means play near or around other children) and reading to your child regularly. At two, "teaching" a child is really just about exposing them to as much of the "safe" parts of the world as you can - they will learn from there.
Some ideas I didn't see listed in other answers already are:
Walking in a line (not line of kids, but in a straight line, curved line and zig-zag line).
Name Recognition - child knows and can identify own name.
Matching and Sorting - (you can do a lot at home with this one just while you do chores. Clean up time is all about sorting and what about having her help you sort the laundry?)
Place - children start hearing references to their city vs. other towns or cities he/she might visit. Address is usually learned around four but start using the language with her.
Washing Hands - We even did a whole month all about germs and the importance of cleanliness and hygeine (you are probably doing a lot of this anyway).
Potty Training - Most of my time was engaged in potty training when I was a two's teacher.
Meeting People - introducing, saying hi, nice to meet you. . .
Scissor Skills - this will be important when she does go to school but is often overlooked by parents (I certainly wouldn't have thought of it on my own either). What I mean here, is not using scissors well, just the safety of them, that they should only be used (for now) when supervision is occuring, and how to carry them safely. Kids should get the opportunity to cut with safety scissors starting when they are nearing the age of three - with supervision.
Musical Awareness besides singing songs we did a lot of music and movement, clapping games etc. The kids were exposed to child friendly music in many genres: broadway, jazz, classical, rock, country.
Outdoor Awareness: This included safety issues like crossing streets while holding hands and staying right with guardians and introductions to the basics behind staying away from "tricky people." Outdoor awareness also included naming local insects (learning which ones to alert a teacher to and not touch vs. which ones are just "cool" is a GREAT thing for kids. Just teaching them all insects are something to be careful about is simpler, but creates fears), trees and other plants (not that we had any in the classroom, but learning that some plants are safe and others are not for touching is similar to the lesson about insects), commonly encountered large animals (and safety around them) as well as seasonal awareness (changing leaves, weather etc).
Community Helpers: becoming familiar with our uniformed public and their respective jobs (police officers, fire fighters, paramedics etc.) If there was ever an emergency in which your child needed help from one of these people it is good for them to recognize the uniforms and job of that person.
Sensory Activities: Sensory Stimulus can be a natural part of growing, but it can also be limiting to kids if they don't get enough variety because they can develop fears of the unknown - it also helps with writing skills, oddly enough, and some such activities can be major stress reducers - working with playdoug is an example of this, but my favorite was to squirt some shaving cream on a smoothsurface and just let them play in it, play with feathers, leaves, beans, water etc all count as "sensory" experiences.
is the ideal solution for kids who require some physical fun to move and learn! It helps to stimulate early muscle development, builds confidence, improve coordination and sensory processing as well as gives kids a chance to practice motor skills with the security of holding on to the railing. Bonus: the trampoline folds up nicely, to make more space for running and playing when you're done!
