A common remark made by many parents is, “I spent all this money on a great new toy for my child, and she’s more interested in playing with the box than the toy!” This blog offers descriptions and opinions about toys, books, & other resources for both children considered to be typically developing as well as those with special needs. I have tried, when possible, to provide suggestions on how to modify toys to make them fun for children at all developmental levels.

Go Baby Go Crawl Along Drum by Fisher Price
This is an adorable set of drums that encourage babies to participate in two of their favourite activities: moving around and pounding on things. When the drums are hit they light up and music plays, teaching baby a rich cause-effect lesson. When snapped together and turned on, the drums will roll across the floor, giving baby something to chase. Both infants and toddlers seem to enjoy these little drums. Strengths: The drums can be used in two different ways - pounding and rolling. Weaknesses: Even though these seem like very durable little drums, the first set I bought broke quickly (after only several uses) but the second set has been going strong for a couple of years. Price: $17-$20. Where to Buy: These can be found at retailers like Target, Wal-Mart, and Toys R Us, or at Amazon (www.amazon.com).
