Developmental Toys For Babies and Toddlers
Some of the best developmental toys for babies and toddlers are the simplest. For example, the Sesame Street Learn to Dress Elmo doll is a great learning toy for kids from 18 months to six years. This darling Elmo doll comes fully dressed in blue jeans, zip-up jacket, t-shirt and lace up shoes – perfect for teaching little hands to complete dressing tasks. Elmo asks your youngster to help him get ready by listing three different activities to do. When your child completes the activities, Elmo sings a happy song!
In keeping with the Sesame Street theme, an Oscar the Grouch hand puppet will teach any youngster from around three years to use her imagination and create her own little skits and scenes with Oscar the Grouch as the star of the show.
Fantastic developmental toys for babies include Baby Einstein toys. Babies love Baby Einstein and there is such a huge variety of colorful learning toys for babies and toddlers alike. Try the Baby Einstein Baby Neptune Ocean Adventure Gym. This is a wonderful toy for your littlest tyke. It has a plush octopus and fish that “swim” above your baby’s head, a large mirror (baby safe, of course) and a crib toy that can attach to the gym or the crib that lights up and plays six different classical songs.
The Baby Einstein Animal Exploration Tunnel is a crawling tunnel with mesh windows along both sides, so that you can see in, and your baby can see out. There are lots of textures to feel and noises to make, and the tunnel also has flaps that can be lifted and looked under. Other features of this awesome baby developmental toy include toys that can hang from loops inside the tunnel – these are a rattle with a sunny smile, a ring rattle, a teether that is water-filled, a bird that makes chirping noises and flash cards.
The LeapFrog Learn and Groove Musical Table is a great learning toy for little ones from 18 months and up. The activities allow for experience with motor skills such as spinning, sliding, rolling and tapping with the hands and fingers. Over 40 songs and happy tunes in a variety of styles can be played – great for helping babies and toddlers learn about music and develop movement skills when they get in the groove and dance.
