"Play is the work of children."
We know that for most children, play is one of the best ways to get needed practice when they are learning a new skill (and it's definitely the most fun!).
During a time of year where many people are thinking about gift-giving, there is a great opportunity to look for ways to support children's learning and development through play. That can be hard to identify if you don't have a background in child development.
Toymaker, Melissa & Doug, have put together a great resource of toys sorted by developing skill! If you are looking for toys to help support your child's fine motor, gross motor, speech, or social-emotional skills, check out their website for ideas (or to see how what you are already doing at home may be helping).
