I Love Toddlers ; Toys for Toddlers
I love toddlers. Toddlers have passed infancy but are still preschool age. They are aware of their world and are exploring everything. They are tenacious – they walk and stumble, then laugh or cry and go at it one more time. Toddlers start to imitate adults in their life; they may be using child sized mops and brooms to be like their parents. They are practicing fine motor skills by piling blocks and using large wooden puzzles and shape sorters. They may be trying to use child safety scissors. Everything is new and novel and exciting. I once took my toddler to a fireworks display and was disappointed when he wasn’t particularly enthralled. My friend pointed out that everything is a fireworks display at that age. So how can we support this amazing age of discovery? What are the best toys for 1 year old? Which toys will help develop fine motor skills for toddlers?
