Talk it Out with Wee Talkers

Episode #29: Toddler Toys That Stand the Test of Time (and Why Less Really Is More)


Listen Later

Overwhelmed by the toy aisle (or your living room floor)? You're not alone. In this episode, Katie and Carly (pediatric speech language pathologists and moms of six) share how to choose toys that truly stand the test of time.

They'll walk you through what really matters when it comes to toys for babies, toddlers and preschoolers: choosing open-ended toys that encourage imagination, quality over quantity, and picking toys that meet your child where they are developmentally.

You'll also hear their favorite tried-and-true toys that spark language, connection, and creativity (and the ones that tend to just gather dust).

Whether you're shopping for the holidays or just ready to simplify playtime, this episode will help you feel confident choosing toys that actually support your child's language development.
