Linking rings are an age-old favourite. At this stage they only get bitten - but they'll have many uses for years to come and are worth buying now. Independence, curiosity, and increased communication skills allow some creative self-expression. Push toys, pull toys, and bowling type games are great active toys. Vehicles and construction toys encourage both gross and fine motor skills development as well as adding imaginative play.
Blocks are a classic toy still enjoyed today.
Water play is fun, so tub toys help make the bath experience enjoyable. Ring or shape-stacking toys are good for hours of play. What an exciting time for kids these years are. Kids take joy in exploring and are learning concepts. The more we involve their senses in the process the more concrete the experience is, making learning easier.
