A child between the ages of a baby and a kindergartner can often be a tricky one to second-guess. Constant adult supervision is necessary as leaving them alone for even a few minutes could result in some accident or misfortune happening, and at that age even a minor bump will lead to tears and a spoilt day.
Looking after them can be quite tiring for an adult, because they seem to have the boundless energy of an older child yet the insane thirst for exploration of one much younger. Everything seems so interesting to them that they have to keep checking things out.
Toys mean a great deal to children at this age and sometimes they can be hard to separate from them. They normally have a favorite, cute, soft toy, which in their eyes is as real as another human. For times, such toys are a child’s best friend, literally one of the most important things in the world to them. As a result they want to take them everywhere with them.
Therefore, it is important to ensure that the toys they have are suitably safe, as there is always a strong likelihood that they will fall over or on them. Something like a teddy bear or other stuffed animal will mean that should the toddler fall over their toddler toy does not do them any harm.
The fact that soft toys have remained popular throughout the generations says a lot. There is no doubt whatsoever that children really respond to cuddly toys, from the utterly lifelike to the charmingly outlandish.
At this point they are more intuitive than they were as babies, and better able to understand things that you say and that they see. As such, any toys that develop their senses can be absolutely perfect for a child. Alphabet games or toys with noises will not only excite but will also mean they have already learnt some basics for when they start at kindergarten.
Always pay attention to the level of fun a child takes from a toy though, as this is just as important as the direct educational benefits from it. Toddlers need to have fun above all else – there is always time for learning later.
