Toys that encourage movement help link words with actions.
It is not about buying the most educational toy. How you use it matters far more.
- Get down to your child’s level
- Talk about what they are focused on
- Repeat words naturally
- Follow their lead during play
Using the same words across toys, books, and routines helps words stick.
- Read about animals, then play with toy animals
- Name kitchen items during pretend play and mealtimes
- Use the same words consistently
