Dr. Toy's Best Products List - Spring 2007
Welcome to the launch of the 2007 collection . . .
Dr. Toy’s Best Products: Spring – 2007
The Best Products for Baby to Older Children–for Learning and Play for Every Toy Chest
These outstanding products are selected to complement Smart Play/Smart Toys: How to Raise a Child with a High PQ–Play Quotient.
Dr. Toy wants you to have additional guidance in finding and selecting the best toys and learning products that fit a variety of types of skills for each age. Each product is designated to assist your child with specific developmentally appropriate activities. We continue to add to these resources during the year in Summer and Fall/Winter reports.
Many people think play is trivial, but it isn't. Play is always essential for the developing mind because it allows children to extend their imagination, resourcefulness, interaction, problem-solving skills, and physical, emotional and social abilities.
Smart Play/Smart Toys, and all the guidance provided on this site, helps you navigate the thousands of toy and play options available, offers tips on toy safety and how to evaluate and use them for a wide variety of purposes, and suggests activities that enhance every child’s PQ. In addition, Smart Play/Smart Toys identifies appropriate types of toys and guides you on how to make the most of toys, find important craft supplies for playtime, and discover hundreds of ways to make play a life-long and nurturing experience for the entire family.
Read an excerpt from the introduction of Smart Play/Smart Toys. You may purchase a copy at your local toy or bookstore and obtain the best guide to play and toys from baby to older children, including a chapter on special needs, plus many suggestions to enhance playtime throughout the year.
Thank you for visiting! Please continue to read more about play and toys and, best of all, take time to read and play with your child each and every day.
