toddler toys & books that promote speech development
Here is a list of toy and book ideas that I (a certified speech-language pathologist and early interventionist) would recommend for toddlers and preschoolers to promote speech/language development, fine motor skills, problem solving, imaginative pretend play, and learning basic educational concepts. This is a fantastic list for any child, whether you're shopping for your own or looking for a gift. I have seen and used many of these items during in-home speech therapy visits.
