You’re in luck if you have a toddler to buy for this Christmas in 2019! There are so many great toys available that you’ll have trouble making up your mind. Choose from an array of toys that include indoor activities, educational, shapes, bath time fun, physical activity and even toys that will help to keep them still and quiet in a car seat or stroller.
This guide will show you – not only on the best-selling toys of the year – but the impact they may have on your toddler. The toddler years are when your baby is changing rapidly and becoming more independent.
They’re also learning to master motor skills that will give them independence and they’ll be able to slightly control some of the things around them. With each new skill he develops, your toddler will develop more self-confidence – which will lead him to have fun learning other skills as he continues to grow.
You need some ideas to get you thinking about which toy(s) would be best for the toddler in your life, so let’s get started!
