For most of us, we look back at the toys and gifts for toddlers and marvel, thinking, “We never had anything like that when we were young.” Years ago, a toddler would be given metal pots and pans and a couple wooden spoons, spending hours playing. While many babies still love old-fashioned toys, today, the market is flooded with incredible options for babies and toddlers. Therefore, if you were in the process of buying a toddler baby gift, you will be astounded by the options available.
As an example, school-age children begin learning how to work on computers in kindergarten. In this society, if a child goes through school not having ever learned about computers, they are automatically behind the rest of the children, putting them at a huge disadvantage for jobs. Toy companies understand this dilemma all too well and because of this, they have created a number of incredible options for toddlers.
For this reason, when trying to choose a toddler baby gift, consider looking at the Toddler Learning Laptop designed for toddlers 18 months and up. This computer is new on the market, making an excellent gift. The “computer” is designed with realistic lights, sounds, and even a mouse designed to activate a matching game. As you can imagine, any toddler would be thrilled to receive this type of gift. In addition to being fun, this particular gift is ideal in that the child will learn about shapes, numbers, and colors.
Another excellent toddler baby gift, already having received a number of awards, is Softronics Sing and Spin Bugs. Designed for babies from six months of age and up, this toy will keep the toddler busy for hours. Best of all, the sounds, and motion are created as soft toys, ensuring your child’s safety. This toy features three cute bugs that spin on top of a brightly colored flower pad while “Ring around the Rosie” plays continuously for 30 seconds. The motion of the spinning bugs encourages interactive play, which is ideal for a child’s motor skill development.
Another toddler baby gift to consider is a game of colorful bowling pins and ball, made from soft, animal figures. The “bowling ball” is filled with various rattles for sound, making the game more realistic. In fact, you can even buy a matching bowling bag if you like. Another great gift is a small, rocking horse. The key however is to ensure the size of the horse matches the child’s age and that the design of the horse is safe.
Although many parents try to avoid buying noisy pull toys, children love these. For example, something like a bright, yellow duck with orange bill could be pulled while the webbed feet flap. As the child pulls the toy, it quacks every few feet to the child’s delight. When trying to find the perfect gift, remember that toddlers love bright colors, noisy toys, and things that can be taken apart and put back together.
