Toys For Creative Play



















A while back, the boys were given a box of this as birthday present. 

This is the kind of wonderful toy which encourages creativity and enhances fine motor skills. It is highly manipulative. Perfect for little hands and big minds. 

It doesn't take long for the 4yo to create shapes of vehicles with the pieces. 


A dump truck with the tipper body up. The boy made this in under 10 min just before bedtime.

My 2yo plays with it sparingly still, but he is quick to form simple recognisable shapes with them. At the moment, his interest lies more in throwing them all into his huge remote-controlled Caterpillar dump truck, so that he can mimic the dumping work done repeatedly by the trucks he sees daily.
