We are so excited because it’s finally December, which means that it’s time to celebrate Toy Takeover 2024! Each year, we get together with our team of incredible therapists and come up with a list of some wonderful developmental toys. Not only do these toys help your child work on their skills, but they are so much fun to play with. We think that we’ve come up with an incredible list of toys this year, and cannot wait any longer to share them with you. So without further ado, here are the toys that made our Toy Takeover list for 2024:
These infant teething links are perfect for your little ones who are starting to enter the teething stage. In our opinion, it will be your baby’s best first toy! This set comes with 24 colorful teething links that are easy to take along with you anywhere you go. The best part about this toy is that it is very easy to grasp, and it’s lightweight for early reaching, swiping, and mouthing exploration.
2. Lalabloom Sensory Balls & Beads
Lalabloom Sensory Balls & Beads is the next toy to make our Toy Takeover list for 2024, and for good reason! With this toy, your child will be able to enjoy endless sensory discoveries with these different textured and brightly colored balls and pearls. You can start your child off with tactile play and exploration, and as they grow and get older, move onto stacking and building concepts.
3. Hula Hoop
Get ready to get your kiddos up and moving! This next toy is fun for the whole family, and is one that you may have played with as a child, too. The classic hula hoop is one that you may not think of using to develop your child’s skills, but believe it or not, hula hoops are very versatile. You can play ring around the rosy, jump in and out of them, or even have a bean bag toss competition. The possibilities truly are endless!
The Spark & Wow Wooden Magnets set is perfect for sparking your child’s creativity and imagination. Not only is this toy approved for children 2 years of age and up, but it also encourages gross motor development, fine motor development, and language development all in one. Further, this toy comes in 4 fun different themes, including transportation, sea life, space, and emotions.
5. Radio Flyer Push Walker Wagon
The last toy we wanted to feature is the Radio Flyer Push Walker Wagon from Radio Flyer. This adorable toy provides a good amount of stability and support for any kiddos who are just learning to walk. As your child’s balance improves, the Radio Flyer Push Walker Wagon can be used to practice stooping and squatting by filling it with your child’s favorite toys. Additionally, you can weigh down the wagon as needed!
Wishing you all a safe and happy holiday season! We really enjoyed working with each of you in 2024, and are looking forward to seeing all of our incredible PTN families in 2025.
