Benefits of Play in Early Childhood Development

Play is not just about fun and games. It's an essential part of your child's developmental journey, even when they’re still in their newborn or infant stage. Toys serve as tools to facilitate this growth while also providing you with ample opportunities to bond with your bub. Here are just some of the ways play can benefit your child:

• Sensory stimulation: The various colours and textures present in baby activity toys help to engage your child’s still-developing senses through sight, hearing, and touch. Sensory toys and games also help build neural connections in your baby’s brain, fostering cognitive development and a heightened awareness of the world around them.

• Motor skill development: ELC offers a wide range of activity toys to encourage motor and movement skills in your child. Building blocks, for instance, not only keep your child engaged in an open-ended way but help hone fine and gross motor skills and hand-eye coordination.

• Cognitive development: As your baby enters the toddler stage, they can begin to benefit from learning toys like puzzles or number games. These introduce your child to mathematical and logical concepts, providing a solid foundation for their future academic learning.

• Encouraging imagination: Pretend playsets or role-play toys offer your child a canvas to act out stories, fostering creativity. They also help your toddler make sense of new experiences, promoting social and emotional development.

Frequently Asked Questions About Baby & Toddler Toys

What toddler toys can a two-year-old have?

Two-year-olds can benefit from toys that foster creativity, motor skills, and cognitive development. Examples include building blocks, simple puzzles, pretend play toys, and toddler activity toys that encourage physical movement. These will equip your two year old for the skills needed to enjoy nursery or preschool, as well as build their long-term capabilities leading up to their formal education.

What kind of toys should toddlers play with?

Toddlers should play with toys that promote learning, creativity, and physical activity. This includes puzzles, pretend play sets, building blocks, and age-appropriate outdoor toys like sand play sets, all of which contribute to their holistic development. Craft toys are another fun way to encourage their motor skills through play while also letting them express themselves.

Do toddlers need a lot of toys?

Quality always trumps quantity when it comes to toys for babies and toddlers. Having a select few, well-chosen toys that stimulate different aspects of development is better than having a multitude of toys that serve a similar purpose. Open-ended toys such as wooden blocks or plastic tiles also offer an infinite number of opportunities for creative play, encouraging your child to develop their imagination.
