Answer 2

Tea sets are really good toys, you can get sets for resonable prices and put pretend fruit and vegetables with it. The children learn social skills in as sharing with one another, sitting down and having a cup of tea together. Physical skills in how to hold a cup properly, use a pretend knife and fork.

the toddlers i look after go crazy every time i bring it out, its also a nice activity for them to sit down and talk to each other. The boys and girl toddlers both enjoy tea seats and there are many around that are just plain colours with no "girly" pattern on it.

Another one is Puzzles simple and easy, you have age guides on most puzzles and its a nice one for a child's intellectual development and fine motor skills.

Everything around them is a learning toy.

I would suggest something that is big, brightly coloured and makes a little noise. It is easy for them to hold, put in their mouth, see and hear.
There are lots and lots of toys on the market. Anything with an alphabet is a brilliant idea. The earlier they get learning that the better they will succeed at school.
Don't just rely on toys though, the best person to teach them anything is you! Go down to thier level and play. Be imaginative. There is nothing more powerful than a childs imagination!!

I have a 3 1/2 year old and one at 18 months, they love nothing more than crayons, paints, modelling dough, empty cardboard boxes, books, loads of books, thing is you could spend a fortune on expensive toys, when really it's the simple things they learn most from. A washing up bowl and some fairy with a plastic tea set, let em wash up. Hamlynn do a good book called brain games for pre-schoolers, it has all kinds of things and games you can play with your little one, try the Mini IQ website for more details, that's where I got mine. Hope this helps.

Answer 5

Lego is one of the best toys - it expands their imagination without restricting them. Just give them a few blocks and they will come up with brilliant ideas you couldn't have thought of.

Also try to give them a small piano/ keyboard or other musical instruments to experiment with. However noisy they may be, they help develop a baby's sense of rhythm.(If you are against the noise, you cn limit the time to 15-20 minutes each day).

Crayons and playdough help with fine and gross motor skills, apart from helping the child being creative . try buying a Magnadoodle if you are worrid about scribbling on the wall. A new toy called Aquadoodle (drawing with plain water filled pens on a special mat) is also very good and not messy at all.

Hi there,
As parents, you're the most important first step in your children's journey into the wonderful world of reading. It is up to you to create the most supportive environment that turns your child on to reading - such as reading aloud to them often during the day and before bedtime, and placing age appropriate books for children around the house, so that the child will have access to plenty of books. Reading often to your child will help develop their interest in books and stories, and soon they will want to read stories on their own.

The Baby Einstein range is very good, it then progresses to little Einstien and so on. Not only does it teach children things that most adults do not know it keeps the little one captivated, for the whole time no matter the age.
