Arrange the garages to make a colorful town, or stack them to make a tower tall with language learning opportunities as you name the colors and numbers with your child! My favorite part of this toy is playing hide-and-seek with other items under the garages. This adds an element of surprise to basic puzzle play. This toy opens up endless opportunities for stacking, counting, hide-and-seek, mix-and-match, imaginative play and of course, language!
The blue ball in the tower goes down, down, down. Get your animal sounds ready! Your child can take each piece out and stick it to the fridge. However, some refrigerators are not made for magnets. In that case, cookie sheets are perfect! Use a small cookie sheet in the car with your toddler or preschooler for magnet play on the go.
Go beyond animal sounds and use the magnets to set up scenes or trace each animal then use the outlines on a piece of paper as a puzzle. Then announce each one by name or sound as you dig them out and stick them to that cookie sheet. To practice concepts like above, below, top, middle, and bottom, draw lines on a piece of paper and tape the paper to a magnetic surface. It does not store any personal data. Functional Functional.

Rhyming is a very critical skill that preschoolers should acquire, as the ability to rhyme is a precursor to being able to read. The following nursery rhymes are wonderful when used with the play kitchen:. An unbreakable mirror meant for use by small children is a wonderful toy and tool for babies.
Babies love to see themselves in the mirror with their parent and can explore facial expressions, tongue movement sticking out the tongue and naming parts of their face while looking into the mirror.
Children under three years of age love stacking cups. Besides building spatial awareness and balancing skills, these simple toys are fantastic for teaching size concepts big, bigger, biggest , colors, counting, and sequencing.
Blocks are an open-ended toy that can be enjoyed from infancy through the early school-age years. The possibilities for speech and language skills are endless with a great set of unit blocks. Young babies will enjoy tapping two blocks together to make noise. Coupled with a song, the tapping blocks may be used to explore rhythm.
As children grow, the blocks are used to make tall towers to knock down, then buildings, and finally as a stage for more complicated pretend-play with small toy cars and action figures. A simple game we called Take it Out, Build it Up is a great way to foster the understanding of prepositions and to encourage speech skills. Fill up a small box with blocks.
Take turns removing the blocks from the box to build a tower. See how high you can build the tower before you have to put the blocks back in the box! Blocks with letters, numbers, and animals printed are also available and can be used to help foster counting skills, letter recognition, and naming of colors. Use toy tools to "fix" a bike. This activity is extremely fun for preschoolers and will generate a lot of language!
One favorite activity is to turn a tricycle upside down and pretend to fix it. Besides learning the name for basic tools, the child will learn a lot of action words turn the screwdriver, pound the nail. The Mr. Potato Head toy might be one of the greatest toys any child could have to encourage vocabulary growth. Besides the obvious naming of body parts, the toy can be used for learning prepositions, action words, color names, and more.
To encourage collaborative play, fill a box with Mr. Give the box of parts to one child and give the potato head to another child. The child with the head must ask the child with the box of parts for the items they would like. This game encourages social interaction and taking turns!
