Learning and Activity Toys for Babies Aged 18-24 Months

Jump to products

Most 18-24 month old are confident walkers and have fairly well developed fine motor skills. Their language skills are coming on rapidly--possibly well enough to make specific gift requests--and they've started to use their imagination when they play. Look for toys that stimulate language and problem-solving skills and challenge growing attention spans:

• Electronic toys designed to help children learn the alphabet start to familiarise toddlers with the sounds that make up words well before they learn to read.

• Now most toddlers have good balance, they may be ready for a rocker or ride-on toy.

• Pretend play helps children to develop empathy and social skills and lets their imaginations run wild.

• Jigsaws and puzzles challenge children to develop problem solving skills. Getting them right gives their confidence a boost.

• A toddler's motor skills may well be good enough now to start using crayons and markers. This is the very first exciting step towards writing.
