Looking for quality toys that TRULY promote your child’s development? Look no further! Our experience as therapists has provided us with a trained eye for the toys kids love that are also fantastic for fostering the development of play (the foundation of all learning), language and communication, social emotional skills, problem solving, fine and gross motor skills, visual spatial skills, and more. We have bought many of them for our own children and family members, because we believe that quality toys can make a difference in a child’s development.
 
The best part? Most of the toys we selected are battery free- and that’s not by accident. Toys with batteries, lights, and noises often play FOR your child; we prefer open ended toys that children play WITH, especially in early development. In addition, we love that these open ended toys can be played both independently and cooperatively with others.
 
We have categorized our favorites by general age group, but keep in mind that every child has unique interests and abilities. Click an image to be brought to our amazon affiliate link. Happy shopping!
