Gifts that Grow: Toys for Your Toddler’s Development

  • Montessori learning – A Montessori toy is one that stimulates learning through experimentation (source)
  • STEM learning – STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and math, and promotes learning, curiosity, and education (source)

Remember, most toddlers are more than happy to play with pots and pans, rocks, or boxes found around the house. You don’t need to add any toys to your home for your child’s imagination to grow, develop, and flourish.
