Toddler Toys

There’s little more wonderful for us parents than to see our kids engaged with a toy — whether it’s a game, puzzle, stuffed animal, or pretend-worthy plaything that’s sent your toddler off into a world of his or her own imagination. What makes one toy a favorite that’s played with again and again and again … and again — and another one something that sits sad and neglected at the bottom of the toy box? Only your toddler knows for sure. But Babble’s got a great beat on what works for lots of kids. We’ll fill you in on everything from the top toys for development and learning for preschoolers, the best toys for toddlers to come out this year, toys that are made with an eye toward preserving the environment, and lots, lots more. Reading about terrific toys is fun. Playing with them? Even better!
