Like most children, Erin has her fair share of toys. A good variety of toys at this age is important to develop all areas. Here are a few different categories of toys, and our stand out favourite in each area.

Toys that help them balance and walk….

Sit and ride toys, rocking horses, trikes, tractors, push along toys.

Our Favourite: Wooden push along with ducks that make a noise as you walk, seems to be out of stock now, similar idea to this wooden push along.

Toys to develop fine motor skills and hand-eye co-ordination…

Sorting toys, jigsaws, building blocks, threading toys.

Our Favourite: Stacking cups, which we also use as water vessels in the bath and as cups with the kitchen, very versatile.

Imaginitive Toys

I think this is one of my favourite categories as I enjoy watching toddlers play in this way. Toys include teddies, dress up clothes, kitchens and dolls.

Our Favourite: The kitchen(which is a little less advanced than this one) and doll (must have accompanying bottle) are definitely the favourites, anything to do with being a mother and homemaking!

Art & Craft Supplies

Paints, brushes, sponge, lining paper, play dough, crayons, pencils, stickers.

Our Favourite: Definitely the magic paint wands. Easy to use, good colour and quick to put away afterwards.
