Toys for Toddlers & Preschoolers - Good Toys for Children - Playtime


The following excerpts are from the National Network for Child Care with recommendations for toys for Toddlers.

Toddlers are active and enjoy climbing, running, and jumping. They need toys to meet these needs. They also are interested in doing things with their hands as the small muscles in their fingers become more developed. However, toys for this age group should be simple and require little coordination. During this period, toddlers become interested in playing with others and in imitating grown-up activities. Toys like dress-up clothes are great for this!

Toddlers still put toys in their mouths, so you will need to watch for objects with small parts. Also, watch out for items, such as paint and chalk, as toddlers think it is great fun to eat these! Toys should be sturdy and should not have sharp edges or points. Toddlers enjoy balloons, but caregivers should be careful to keep uninflated or broken balloons out of reach. A child could suffocate if these are swallowed.

Appropriate Toddler Toys:
 push-pull toys

 pedal toys

 truck/cars big enough to ride

 wagons

 balls and bean bags

 balloons (with close supervision)
 climbing structures

 books with simple stories

 blocks

 peg boards

 puzzles
 creative materials (crayons,  playdough, paint)

 water play toys

 simple dress-up clothes

 dolls and stuffed animals

 boxes
