Game night!  It's a great way to bond with your kids and show them how much fun learning can be.  Children learn and model themselves after the people they are closest too.  Encourage your child's love of games and learning through these games.

This toy encourages vocabulary development, both receptive vocabulary (how many words a child understands) and expressive vocabulary (words a child says/speaks). 

It's not a bad toy for a long car ride either!  Young children love anything that looks like a game.  Read on...

Challenge children to be creative and innovative using this beautiful puppet theater to highlight their thespian skills.

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...

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).

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...

This toy may appear simple, but it packs a big punch for both language, speech, and fine motor skills.  Encourage your child's first words by playing with the telephone.  Encourage fine motor skills with the shape sorter side.  The little bear pops up, so babies learn the early skill of cause and effect.  Teach your child basic concepts such as "in" and "out" with the shapes.  So many ways to play.

Encourage a child's love for books and allow them to express themselves by being an author of their very own story!
