Easel and art supplies Although it is not a toy, an easel allows children to interact through art, drawing and painting with their friends.

Wooden blocks and accessories
Traditional wooden blocks, both the square type and the ones with varied shapes are a great choice. They allow budding architects to learn all about stacking. And let them use their imagination to create anything they like. Just remember that the blocks you are bringing home should be large enough to not be considered a choking hazard. -
Magnetic blocks and tiles Children love the fact that magnetic blocks and tiles won’t fall over as wooden ones. And it amazes them at just how high they can build their magnetic towers and structures. They also learn about magnets and their attraction to metal objects, making for hours of fun play.

Baby dolls
Baby dolls allow children to mimic social behaviors that they see around them. And they also learn to show empathy and affection through doll play. -
Forts A good old make shift fort is sometimes all you need. Help your children in constructing one by hanging blankets over chairs and use pillows to block the extra entry ways. They will love being able to have their own “hangout”.
