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)...

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).

A favorite toy among Occupational Therapists...  This toy encourages gross motor as well as sensory exploration.  Great for premature babies and children on the austism spectrum.  Many premies are very sensitive to touch on their feet because of early bad experiences (needle sticks, tape, etc).  Great for all kids as well for sensory exploration as well as balance.    Read on....

Build creepy, crawly, buggy-eyed creatures that MOVE with this 100-piece Oogly Googly Gears set!

This toy encourages sensory exploration, visual exploration and attention.  The blocks are interesting and peek-a-boo windows encourage a young child to stay with the activity by allowing an opportunity for further exploring. They are soft and infants and young toddlers will love to explore them with their hands and their mouths.

Many children need to be taught about feelings and taught the right words to use to express themselves.  I see many kids that simply explode or tantrum because they do not know another way to express themselves.  These books encourage loved ones to talk to their kids about feelings.  These books use real faces versus cartoon images which are better for kids with special needs. 

When I left my son at preschool this morning, four kids were circled around this toy taking beads on and off.  This is great for teaching colors, sequencing, matching colors, counting & early math, and fine motor skills.

Kids love the element of surprise with this toy... what shape will I pick out of the bag next?  There are multiple ways to play with this toy.  Use it to encourage your children to name shapes; have your child reach in the bag and try to pick out the triange (encourages sensory exploration); fine motor development occurs as the child places the piece in the puzzle.  Tons of fun.  Sometimes the simplest toys are the best.

How do children learn about the world around them? They touch, taste, see, smell and hear it, of course!
