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.

Check It Out.....
I was doing a little web surfing today and came across a really cool website called Wonder Baby. http://www.wonderbaby.org/ . It was designed by the parents of a child who is blind and offers some really excellent suggestions for adapting toys for a child with visual issues as well as other types of special needs. There are also links to some other very interesting resources and web sites. The modifications they suggest for toys and other activities are easy to do and really promote involvement in play that doesn't have to feel like therapy!
