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.

Where's Spot? by Eric Hill
This is a classic book lift-the-flap book for older infants and toddlers. The simplicity of the story and repetitiveness of the text makes it an ideal book for young children. The basic idea behind the book is that Mama dog is looking for little Spot. She looks under the bed, in the piano, behind the door, and just about everywhere else she can think of before she finds her hidden puppy. Children love lifting the flaps and shouting out "No!" when Mama asks if Spot could be hidden in a certain place. Spot books can be found almost everywhere children's books are sold. These books come both in hard-cover and paper-back formats.
