Toddler baby toys for boys and girls: Jumpstart the learning process

Toddlers are naturally curious to their surroundings. They try to explore every nook and cranny of their home and touch anything they can get their hands on. You can take advantage of this natural curiosity to accelerate your toddler baby’s learning process. Give the baby suitable toys and games, and join him/her during playtime. Not only will the learning process be accelerated, but the bond between you and your baby will also be reinforced. Some great toddler gifts are interactive toys and games, such as

1. Shape sorters - These are collections of sets objects of similar shapes and colors. Encourage the child to sort the pieces according to shape, size, or color. This will not only familiarize them with shapes and colors, but will also help improve their memory. Join your babywhen he/she is playing to make sure he/she does not swallow any piece.


2. Bath toys - Bath time need not be all about scolding and teary eyes. With the right kind of bath toys to accompany him/her in the tub, your baby will look forward to taking baths. The ubiquitous rubber ducky still rules this field. The squeaky noise made by the ducky when squeezed will distract your baby while you bathe him/her. Other toys that float and bob are equally great. Babies love the sound these toys make, and love to follow the bobbing of the toys with their eyes. This helps in improving eye-brain co-ordination.


3. Play sets - These are good because these sets allow a toddler to learn what a real life school, airport, garage, etc. looks like. Another great thing is that if you take the baby somewhere like a garage, and later buy him/her a play set based on that type of location, the baby will try to compare between the two places. This will help improve memory and logical reasoning of the baby.


4. Musical instruments - These can provide hours of fun to toddlers, who are naturally attracted towards noises of all kinds. Drums are great to start with, but later you can move on to more complex instruments like piano, trumpets, etc. Let the toddler enjoy the instrument for some time, and then pitch in to teach him/her a simple tune of your own. Your baby will try to play your tune. This will help in improving memory, as well as hand eye co-ordination.

Toys are great for jumpstarting the learning process of a toddler. But you should accompany your baby when he/she is playing. This will not only help him/her get maximum benefit from the play session, but will also strengthen the bond between the two of you.
