I have always found that picking out toys for toddlers is so so much fun. Other people find it extremely difficult and I am not here to argue either way. You may not be having deep conversations with your child that is from 1 to 3 years old, but they do “talk” in their own unique way. What I can honestly say is that it’s extremely fun to shop for them and pick out gifts that make them smile and giggle.

Have you ever noticed how toddlers learn to play with their toys? It’s usually by seeing, touching, or tasting them. As a parent, you probably don’t want to hear that. Although I don’t encourage tasting toys, it’s going to happen. Toy manufacturers purposely make the toys large enough so that they cannot go in a toddlers mouth and choke them. Roll with this and you will learn what type of gift your toddler wants.

Some parents think that because their toddler does not speak any intelligent words that they are not communicating. Our youngest son who is now 7 years old had the hardest time speaking up until he was almost 4 years old. We had to use our older son as the interpreter! Thank goodness that he was good at body communication.
