These seemingly simple toys are full of opportunities for developing a child’s skills.
Gross Motor Skills. Children by 12 months are beginning to get up and move around. They can hold toys while navigating their core strength as they move. Presenting the highly contrasted colors and easy to grasp toys will encourage them to hold and explore. While having these interesting and colorful toys, it becomes an opportunity to gain postural stability and coordinating their movements as they move their hands, improve their grasp and finger dexterity while maintaining their balance during their play.
Language. Use the dolls and balls to learn colors or match colors with other objects. With a dozen dolls or 6 different balls, they can become counters and learn early math skills such as rote counting, one-to-one counting, less vs more.
Creative Play. Kids will naturally play and think outside the box. Providing them with open-ended toys and characters in their play can encourage them to look for different ways to play with it. Mix them with other toys, play with it alone, play with it with just some pieces... and much more!
Bundle your play with the colorful nesting boxes and our rainbow arcs for enhancing fine motors skills as they hold and manipulate the toys, begin to balance and create different structures and obstacle courses, and gross motor skills as they learn to move around. They can enhance play skills with the toy itself, jointly with other toys, fold-in activities to stimulate language and cognitive skills, and expand their pretend play.
