A child cannot have enough blocks!  Blocks have been shown to encourage cognitive, language, creative, math, and even early reading skills--the perfect toy!

These blocks help to promote better motor skills through building as well as help children learn pretend play. They are colorful and soft, making them safe for toddlers (read on)...

This is a great piece of furniture to have for your playroom.  Children learn responsibility when they clean up after themselves, when a child has a great spot at their level to put their dress up clothes away, it encourages them to have fun while being responsible.

What parent doesn't want QUIET toys that teach their child invaluable skills?  I am a strong advocate for having many different types of blocks around the house.  These blocks are soft and durable and encourage gross motor skills and coordination.  Kids love them because of their size.

As a Speech Pathologist, I work with a lot of young boys... and boys love Legos and machines.  This is just a fun kit of legos for boys of any age!

Who doesn't love legos?  Boys and Girls, no matter their interests, all love legos.  This is a great set and makes a wonderful gift.  Teaches children basic concepts, vocabulary, math skills, etc.  Legos make excellent toys!

An essential toy for any child.  This adds another element to creative play in that it also includes Legos.  There are so many opportunities for learning with a play house.  And yes, even boys should have one too.  Young children can be encouraged to speak for the people and role play.  Language concepts such as pronouns (I, you, yours, mine, his/hers, he/she), spatial concepts (upstairs, downstairs), and so much more are easily worked in to play with this toy.

Does your child love books?  This is a perfect toy to engage the child further into the book. Or, perhaps you have a busy body who can't sit for a book... then use this to encourage attention by engaging the child in more than just sitting and listening would do.  This allows the child to interact with the story line, further enhancing their receptive language skills (how well they understand).

Toddlers love to imitate their parents or loved ones by cooking and making food for their families.  I can literally think of hundreds of ways that play food encourages child development, allow me to list a few...

I just purchased this toy for our clinic.  Children love gears and watching things move and work.  In this jungle-themed set, monkeys fly through the palm trees by their tails, then spin, twist and turn....

Children love puppet shows and they love to put on puppet shows themselves.  This is a great toy to encourage creative play as well as language skills and turn taking skills.  If your child is needs a little help with appropriate behavior or socialization, you can put on a show to demonstrate how the puppets would act in a situation and model a behavior, then have the child act it out. Read on...

This toy is lots of fun.  Young children can learn to imitate early sounds such as "aaaaaaa" for airplane, 'beep beep' for the car, etc.  Toddlers can put on dramatic play schemes and act out a busy airport scene.  I use this toy specifically for children who aren't talking yet to encourage sound play and imitation.  Read on...

Kids can fill up on fun with our one-stop auto center with working gas pump, elevator and lift to service cars...
