Toys For Toddlers that are
Fun and Educational

There are so many toys for toddlers on the market. You can find some very different toys. Better than we had when I was a child. My husband and myself do however try to purchase toys that are fun and educational. Now my son still plays with cars, balls and planes.

As parents we should try to incorporate learning with playing. The younger they are the better. I have created a list of some of our favorite toys. My son loves these toys and we feel they have helped stimulate his brain. It really is important to try and find toys that help to contribute so many things to your child. Including learning.

My Favorite Top Ten Toys for Toddlers

• Bath time with these colorful foam letters and numbers will provide plenty of opportunity for fun and learning. These letters and numbers will float in the bath water, where your toddler can pick them out and make words by sticking the pieces to the walls. (They stick on the bathtub walls with water and will not hurt the walls.) They can also play with these on the carpet. They can pick out the numbers and put them in order or combine them to make bigger numbers. Buy a couple of packs of these. You can find them at Dollar stores cheap. A must Have!

Fun to learn Laptop by fisher price.

• This is for an older toddler but, why not start them out early. We did at two years old. The child may not work the laptop correctly but they will still be learning. Start them out young learning about computers!! It is the future of toys for toddlers. It’s a laptop just for kids—full of learning, fun and laughter! Kids will discover letters and phonics, enjoy delightful games and explore cool mazes with the Laptop. They can play music and make friends with a silly character on this laptop! From beginners to advanced players, the Laptop encourages kids to have fun while learning letters, phonics and mouse skills through various levels of game play. Kids can even check e-mail on their very own laptop, hear music and sounds, enjoy exciting animation on the light-up screen, and discover fun surprises!

Musical Hands Mat

• This Musical Mat is a flat 45" long keyboard-like mat that children can play with their hands. With eight brightly colored hand prints that function as piano keys, this mat features the sounds of a piano, bell, dog, chick and cat. It is recommended for children ages 2 and up, but slightly younger children may enjoy it as well. These toys for toddlers are great for the musically inclined child. Check on line for stores or web sites where you can purchase this.

• Wow these toddler toys are wonderful. The puzzles and put together toys are unbeatable. My son has several of these toys and puzzles and he loves them. There is a puzzle made with different types of locks for doors. It teaches him to open the doors with the latches and hooks. He has a train that is made of animals and blocks. You have to stack the animals by the correct colors and then hook them together. When it is put together you have an animal train. These toys for toddlers are all hand crafted and are worth every cent. Check online where you can find these toys. All of them are great!!!

Mr. or Mrs. Potato Head

• Classic and Great! What else can I say. They also have different types of them now. My son was given a Spiderman Mr. Potato Head, and it changed into Spidey and Peter Parker. He loved it and plays with it all the time. Your toddler can change the parts and make all different kinds of Potatoes. You can also purchase extra accessories. Your toddler will love it and parents you will love it too. Why? This toy is really inexpensive:)

• Cars or bikes anything they can ride on. It gets their motor skills jumping!! My son pretends he is driving to work it is so cute. Try and find one that has a key they can put in and out and turn. There are so many of these toys for toddlers on the market. You can find smaller Power Wheels or else any smaller ride. Any child will love it!

• These are some of my favorites. Especially the Noah's Ark play set. I love Noah (I even named my son after him) and this play set fits right in. It has the boat with the animals and Noah. They can play with it in the bathtub or not. There are so many play sets like these that are age appropriate. From dinosaurs to tree houses. They even have the interactive sets now that actually help your child learn letters and numbers. These toys for toddlers can really help them with learning skills. So check out all of the Little People sets.

• Here is a trampoline to give toddlers a chance to safely jump to their heart's content. It has these safety features: the trampoline mat is only 12 cm from the floor, the metal frame has a rubber cover, and the supporting handles have a foam cover, protecting the jumper's teeth and face. Not only are trampolines good for letting active toddlers release some energy, they also promote muscle strength and increase endurance. This trampoline is for children ages 1 1/2 to 4 years old. Check online for where you can purchase one of these.

• If you have a son they have to have a basketball hoop. Little girls can have one too. I especially love the one from Little Tikes. It is a perfect size for them and assembly is truly effortless for the parents. It comes with a ball that is the right size for toddlers hands. My little guy loved this, and played with it for hours.

• The shake and go racetrack is a winner. The toddler shakes the cars and then puts them on the racetrack. These are made by Fisher Price and are fun toys for toddlers. Look into other race track sets that are age appropriate.
