The toddler years are filled with intense brain development, and toddlers are learning all the time. At Granola Babies, we believe play is learning and learning is play, and we have chosen toddler toys that stimulate toddlers and encourage their natural desires to explore and mimic the world around them.
Choosing toys for toddlers is so much fun, because they really begin to appreciate and enjoy their toys in a new way once they get past babyhood. If you’re choosing a toy for the toddler in your life, Granola Babies has a few suggestions to guide you.
Toddlers love to mimic the activities of the adults around them. Play kitchens and pretend food allow them to be just like Mama (or Papa) without getting burnt on the stove. A beautifully made wood kitchen is an heirloom quality gift that will be used from toddlerhood all the way into elementary school. Dolls allow them to mimic the care they receive, and backpacks and colored pencils let them pretend they are heading off to school, just like their big siblings.
Toddlers also love to stack and sort, so our Pyramid of Play or Creative Peg Puzzle are great outlets for this impulse. And any parent of a toddler will tell you they love to make noise! You might include some earplugs for the parents when you gift our Early Melodies Pound and Tap Bench or our classic Xylophone, but the toddler will sure love it!
Toddlers are still teething, and often put things into their mouth even more frequently than babies. You can rest assured that anything you buy from Granola Babies is toxin free and safe for your little one.
