AGE BRACKET

0 - 1 Year Old

This age baby really needs big stuff to physically handle and to affect. Also, tactile is king with this group along with "big" and "colorful" as key working words.

Big and Colorful Toys

Soft. fabric toys - balls; soft telephones; soft motorized toys and trucks; large blocks; Books.

Big Handled Toys - with color and sound and motion!

Teething Things -

Cloths, Rubber things.anything they can rub against their gums as their teeth come in, that's gotta hurt! Our pediatrician always said, "get the whisky, and put it in a small juice glass. Now that's for you! 'Cause you're gonna need it when he's teething in pain.

1 - 3 Years Old

Think independent exploration, of course, with your help. So get toys that interest you, 'cause someone's going to have to play right beside the baby. Be thoughtful and make it fun and interesting for the other player. Think physical for this age group. They are growing and stretching and reaching out physically, mentally and emotionally. They need interaction and movement.

8-13 Years Old

This group is extremely technologically savvy and very eye-hand coordinated. The latter of the group is recognizing and becoming interested in the opposite sex, thereby your little one is "all-grown-up'. This is when the older boys enjoy their "true age" and the younger boys want to act older. So, go along with it and let them be; after all they really are still kids.
