Playing time is essential in a child’s development. The infant’s first years are deeply formative. The skills necessary in physical and emotional development can be nurtured through play. Through playing, babies develop and enhance their motor skills. They respond to touch, taste, smell..basically their senses are stimulated.
Just like any kids, my son, now a toddler, absolutely loves playing. His play time either includes us playing games with him like peek-a-boo and other physical engaging activities.
I’ve already lost count how many toys now are filling Asher’s toy boxes. He has his favorites which he would always play with every single day while there are also toys that are just kept in his toy chest because they simply are unappealing to him. We seldom buy him new toys so I was really surprised on how fast they’ve abounded. He got most of them as birthday and Christmas presents. We’re thankful that most are educational Award Winning Toys and apt for his age and development. I know he’ll get more as he grows bigger and older. But we have to be firm and watchful because we don’t want him to play stuffs that promote violence or simply are dangerous.
Here are some of his favorite Baby Toys and Learning Toys that he has collected and loves playing with until now.
Balls. He has them in different colors and sizes. He loves throwing the plastic balls and kicking his soccer ball which his grandpa gifted him.
Light and Sound Toys. He’s delighted to observe the colorful lights and frequently dances to the music produced and imitates the sounds. They’re perfect as he learns to speak.
Shape Sorters. He hasn’t fully mastered distinguishing the correct shape to go to the proper hole but he’s on the right track. I just have to work on his patience because he easily gives up and gets frustrated if the shape does not fit.
Stacking Toys. He has perfected them. He loves stacking and knocking them down after.
Electronic Language Toys. He has the following Leap Frog toys: Little Touch Leappad, the Learn & Groove® Animal Sounds Guitar, the Learn & Groove® Musical Table and the Spin and Sing Alphabet Zoo.
Right now, it’s noticeable that his interests are changing and these toys are very apt for him:
