If dog`s are man`s best friends, well, toys are the same for
toddlers! Children grow up fast. In fact, every few months, they are in a
new and different developmental stage of life. Thus, they require
different kinds of toys at different stages. A 5 year old boy will not
be entertained by a cute rattle toy but a 12 month old boy will
definitely love it. Thus, for every kid, toys can hold different delight
stages. Thus, the onus of choosing the right toys for the kids
is on the parents. Parents need to understand what will help the child
develop his gray cells, develop his motor skills etc. and at the same
time keep him entertained.
• First and foremost thing is the safety of the child. So, make sure
the toy is simple and without any edges or sharp pointers. Try to keep
the toy as solid as possible so that the toddler does not get hurt.
• Another thing to remember, especially with babies, is the fact that
they love to chew and put everything in their mouth. Thus, make sure
the toys are bug enough so that it does not fit into the mouth (for the
fear of swallowing) and also that it is non toxic.
• Social skills are paramount when the kid is growing up. Think of
toys that will help encourage group play or group activity like a
telephone toy. This will encourage the toddler to speak and have a
conversation.
• Books can be their best friends for life if kids are encouraged at
early stages. If your toddler cannot read as yet, how about getting some
audio and pictorial books for him. The act of flipping pages and slowly
recognizing the different sounds, forms, shapes, colors etc. will be a
treat to watch!
