🎄These toys don't particularly fit any age group - plus I'm reluctant to put everything into ages groups - if your kids like playing with it and they are having fun then that is what counts!!
1️⃣ Any of the toys made my 'Green toys' - these are the most heard wearing toys I have ever used so if you have a child who breaks everything then Green toys are the way to go! They have all the transportation you can imagine and are great for indoor play that involves movement - great to take in the bath aswell!
2️⃣ Tonks trucks - Really really hardwearing fun toys! You will pay a bit more but they will last. Pushing a big heavy dump truck outside is brilliant heavy work and can help meet your child's sensory needs. Plus they are fun - bonus if you have a big sand box.
3️⃣Squidz - the best suckers there are. I have tried the cheap ones and they don't stick on - better to invest. You can use these for all ages from encouraging babies to pull to stand to challenging balance in bigger kids. They also stick to each other so kids love creating something cool.
4️⃣ Go find it - a fun game for outside bit like a scavenger hunt. Great to take to the forest or in the garden.
5️⃣ Skipping rope - going old school here for the next few - improves coordination, physical fitness, muscle strength, bone density, balance, agility and more. Plus once you get it its FUN!
6️⃣ Hula hoop - Again so much fun. Use them to jump in and out - put over your head, throw, catch and of course hula! Great for core strength, balance, body awareness, motor planning and coordination.
7️⃣No idea what this is called but I do remember playing with one - great for coordination, leg strength, balance, agility, body awareness and motor planning.
I really think simple is key. Its the reason why parents always say 'they played with the box more than the toy!'
