Which toy for which age?

Everybody knows you don’t give a 12 month old baby toys with small parts and an 8 year old has most likely outgrown the treasured toys of their 5 year old self. So which toy it the right toy, which toys will be the most beneficial to your child as they grow?

0-2 years

At this stage of development the child is learning all the time, everything they see is new and novel to them. They also have no sense that objects continue to exist once they are removed from their field of vision yet they do recognize that what they do has an effect on the world. The best toys to give during these years are things that enforce their sense of affecting things, such as a rattle to make noise or the bouncing seats with lots of tactile parts.

2-6 years

This age is characterised by the child having difficulty seeing the word from the viewpoints of others, it is also the age when language comes on leaps and bonds. The best toys for a child around this age are ones that better develop and practice their language skills. This would include books and leapfrog pads. Also toys such a dolls and anything that can have humanistic qualities, as this teaches the child how to see the world through the toys eyes and in time other peoples.

7-11 years

This stage is all about logic and reasoning, the child now has a good understanding of the world and how it works. It’s time to break out the puzzles, crafts and video/board games in order to develop this logical thinking and boost it towards abstract reasoning.

11+ years

This is where the journey ends in terms of cognitive development, the child will have the sense of mind to ask for what they want to play with and won’t stop bugging you until they get it. All you have to worry about after this is the awkward teenage years, but that’s a whole other story.
