Thank you, Little Tikes, for sending me a variety of toys at no cost for my honest opinion.
As a mom of 6 kids, with the oldest being 28 and the youngest being 6, and as a previous home daycare provider of 10 years I know awesome toys. I know toys that will withstand little feet standing on them, powerful 3-year-old muscles tossing them and being thrown in the toy box when it’s clean-up time. I know toys that a child will get bored with easily and toys that have too many parts and pieces and I also know toys that allow interactive play; which I love.
I recently wrote a post dedicated to Little Tikes toys, which you can see here. I share my absolute love for Little Tikes and I feature some of the toys that we’ve carried down from several generations. There are so many amazing Little Tikes toys but what I’d like to focus on in this post are toys that will teach kids interactive play.
As a parent and a previous childcare provider, I know first-hand the importance of teaching kids to play and interact with each other. Interactive play teaches social skills, communication skills, and how to role-play. Here are some of my favorite Little Tikes toys that teach kids interactive play.
- Little Tikes RC Wheelz Bumper Cars: Perfect for kids ages 3-109. This toy allows kids of all hand sizes to control their car of choice with the easy to hold remote controls and bump, crash and launch. The cars have a 360-degree spinning action and are fun for kids to race each other and create fun tracks and ramps that the cars can fly off of. Your kid’s imagination will go wild!
- Construct n’ Learn Smart Workbench: This is one of my favorite Little Tikes toys. 20 years ago my boys had a similar Little TIkes workbench which kept them busy for hours but now fast forward to 2017, Little Tikes has created a new and improved workbench that is pure awesomeness! I love playing with it. Here is a Youtube video that will show you how amazing this is:
- Light ‘n Go 3-in-1 Activity Walker: Your little one is never too young to learn how to interact and play with friends. The Little Tikes Light n’ Go 3-in1 Activity Walker is perfect for kids ages 9 months to 36 months to play with alone or with a friend. The music and fun songs will let friends sing and dance for hours! Here is a video of how the Light ‘n Go 3-in-1 Activity Walker works:
As a previous home daycare provider, I know the importance of encouraging little ones to interact and play with other kids. Not only does this help with their developmental skills but it also teaches them how to character play and how to share. In all my years as an adult, Little Tikes is my go to toy brand. I trust the quality of their toys and know that kids can stay busy with them while using their imagination for hours. In addition, so many of their toys are ‘grow with me toys’ so little ones can enjoy them for longer.
