Wiggle Room: Developmental Toy Gift Guide

December 1, 2020

What are some of the best toys for promoting my child’s development? 

This is a very popular question I get around the holidays from parents and grandparents. Here are some of my favorite toys we use in therapy that are fun, and also promote developmental skills related to fine motor and gross motor skills. 

Infants & Toddlers (under 3 years) 

Ages 3-6 

Developing Gross Motor Skills 

Classics (Age 6 & up)  

All Ages 

Many of these toys can be used across all ages, and all will provide endless fun while improving your child’s developmental skills. Use best judgement as to what your child would like to engage in most.
