Blocks And 3d Puzzles

From the developmental viewpoint a baby’s first experiences are sensory and largely come through feeding. It makes sense that once a baby can reach out and grasp things he wants to find out what they are really like by putting them in his mouth.

It is at this point that earrings, necklaces and eye glasses are discovered and pulled at, and we can no longer hold the baby and have a cup of coffee at the same time. Parents will want to think about what will satisfy their baby’s curiosity as their child begins to give them clear indications that he wants to handle and put various objects into his mouth. You will notice this at ages four to six months.

A seated, immobile baby is entirely at our mercy as to the kind of playthings or environment we offer him. In spite of its different colors or design, a plastic rattle feels, smells and tastes much like any other plastic rattle from a baby’s point of view. Yet all around him is house full of objects just waiting to be discovered.

Giving your baby quality made wooden baby toys will help him learn to hold onto a safe toy; and he will quickly discover that it can be bent and twisted in a variety of shapes..

See this wooden worm on our website. It is available in red, yellow, blue, or green.

Lord,

I seem to grow so slowly

So very slowly.

So thank You for reminding me

That never has a Master Musician

Composed a lasting symphony

In an hour.

Romans 8:29 NLT        

For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn, with many brothers and sisters.

Young babies need the stimulation of motor skills to learn how to use their developing bodies. This clutching toy from Begin Again Toys, a trusted name in developmental toys, is a perfect way to give your child the simple stimulation they need for proper development.

Wood is a very pleasant material to touch and bright colors and clear shapes help train a child’s sensory perception, while clutching or touching the wooden pieces exercise their motor skills.

When you want a quality safe baby toy you will want to purchase wooden baby toys from a manufacturer that uses only splinter-proof wood and non-toxic varnish and paints.

A child’s love is like a whisper,
given in little ways we do not hear.
But if you listen closely
it will be very clear.

They often do not say it loud,
but in how they come to you…
Daddy, will you play with me?
Mommy, tie my shoe?

An orangutan arms can have a reach of more than 8 feet!  How tall are you?  Probably not 8 feet or higher- so, an orangutan can have a reach of a length longer than you are tall!

Mosquitoes bother orangutans just like they do humans and they will use branches like fly swatters to swish them away.

Legend says that orangutans can speak but choose not to because they fear they would be forced to work if were they ever caught talking.

Orangutans can make approximately 13 to 15 different vocalizations. 

At this time orangutans can still be found in the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra. 

Orangutans eat tropical fruits, leaves, sprouts, bark and insects. 

Baby orangutans cry when they are hungry, whimper when they are hurst and smile at their mothers.

The name “orangutan” translates into English as “man of the forest”.  It comes from Malay and Bahasa Indonesian orang (man) and hutan (forest).

Spur of the moment shopping is fun although sometimes only temporarily satisfying.  But when you are shopping for quality educational children’s toys it is wise to have an idea of what you need before you begin shopping.

Whether you are driving to a store or logging onto your favorite search engine, knowing several factors before you begin will help you save time and stay focused on the product type you are seeking. This is important so that you do not get sidetracked to easily when you see all the wonderful, new and exciting toys on the market.

You will want to know the age range and development stage of the children you are shopping for as well as what types of toys and wood play sets the children are interested in.  If, as an example, one of your children loves zoo animals but you see a beautiful farm play set on sale, wouldn’t it still be better to purchase the set with the zoo animals?

If the wooden play sets have many small pieces you want to make sure you are not purchasing it for a child younger that the toy manufacturer suggests to avoid choking.

Browsing through our selections of baby toys, children’s toys, and wooden toys you will find selections for ages from baby through about eight years old.

Safe Wooden Pop Up Toy

Click on the image to read about this pop up toy.

While “testing” this wood toy, it was taken to various locations such as a medical center, special needs therapy office, to local parks and malls, along with other toys and games to get consumer feedback.

ImagiPLAY’s blue dog push toy was a serious hit no matter where it was taken.  Everyone who saw this wood toy was captivated with it.

A special needs child aged 7 was showing no interest in any of the other products until the blue dog was pulled out. Her face light up like a Christmas tree and her demeanor changed dramatically for the positive. The little girl was absolutely fascinated with moving the PushAlong Dog back and forth, over and over again for close to 30 minutes!

Most toys are segregated into specific target groups for use.  Average kids have specific toys designed for their needs, and children with special needs have toys which are most often designed specifically for their own needs, but a crossover of target market, age, and purpose is a rarity in most cases, and this dog crossed this line.

November 2012 Update:  This wood push toy is now manufactured by Begin Again Toys and is still available for your children. You will see it on our page Baby and Toddler Toys.
