Let’s talk toys the next few weeks🧸
Sometimes it can be hard to shop what toys are development okay for our kiddos. Weather that’s for a birthday party or for our own children.
That’s why I have created a list of a few ideas for different age ranges and will post one each week. ✨
For now, here are some amazing toys for ages 12-24 months old. 🤗
🔸Squigz are my personal favorite. You can enjoy them in the bath, build, throw, and sometimes good teethers. 🤭 They come in various sizes too. They can be pricey but are very durable!
🔸The Spiked Hedgehog is another top favorite. Great for counting, visual motor skills, grasping, matching, and counting.
🔸You can’t go wrong with a simple peg boarded puzzle!
🔸Shape sorter is a great problem solving toy. Helps with grasping, visual motor, and shape recognition skills.
🔸The pig is a popular toy in alot of therapy clinics. This one even interacts each time a coin is placed. It’s a great cause and affect toy.
🔸Speaking of cause and effect toys, the ball drop musical instrument is a fan favorite in my household. She has played with this from the day that she could get her hands on it!
🔸crayons! But not regular skinny crayons. Our little friends need thicker crayons as they are still learning how to grasp and going through different grasping patterns. Don’t be afraid of them. I encourage you to sit down with you child and color. Even if it’s for 10 seconds. Also, they make washable markers and crayons these days.
🔸Poke-A-Dot books are a great fine motor activity. It can be very interactive and makes a “popping” sound once poked giving feedback to your little one. It’s great for learning to count as well. There are so so many themes ones too!!
