Some of my most recommended toys that I utilize DAILY as a Pediatric Occupational Therapist to help support reaching developmental milestones and flourish in their skills!
An absolute fan favorite! Reaching, coordination, learning letters and songs, can be used seated or in tummy time, all around amazing
LeapFrog Spin and Sing Alphabet Zoo : Toys & Games
Grasping the coins, navigating to put them in the slot, cute songs, fun for HOURS
Soft stacking blocks! Remember, everything is still going in their mouth at this age! We want to build coordination and fine motor skills SAFELY !
Soft Blocks For Baby
Large knob puzzles! They won’t really be excelling in these until around 11+ months, but the large knobs are great for grasping, transferring, flipping around, and general exposure to puzzles !
Wood Puzzles With Knobs
Start learning cause and effect! Some knobs and toggles may be difficult, but push buttons and watch what happens!
Learning Express Toys
Increased grasp and finger strength to pull apart animals (just like pulling open a marker!), matching to return, sustained attention to difficult tasks, visual scanning to find animal matches or favorite animals, a super fun and effective toy!
Melissa & Doug Pop Blocs Farm Animals Toy
Walking? Crawling? Pull along toys are GREAT for grasping small objects, encouraging body control and coordination, and provide sensory input as they pull their new friend around!
Pull Along Toys for Toddlers
Water play ! Always with supervision, splash around, make a mess, this could help with decreasing fear of water in the future !
VTech 6-in-1 Bath Set with 10+ Accessories
SQUIGGS!!!! Great for grasp, strength, transferring between hands, stick to most services (floors, walls, high chair, etc). Specifically the big/jumbo size because of mouthing! Supervision, as always!
