What toys help with early learning?

Educational toys should match the child’s age and developmental stage. Examples:

  • From 0–6 months: toys that make sounds when shaken, soft books with contrasting colors.
  • From 7–12 months: rattles, balls, stacking toys, and push-pull toys to encourage crawling and standing.
  • 1 year: larger building blocks, simple role-play toys like kitchen sets or toy vehicles.
  • 2 years: sorting and stacking toys by shape or color, crayons, safe playdough, and early puzzles.
  • 3–6 years: pretend play sets, construction toys, board games, storybooks, musical instruments, and safe outdoor activities.
