Gift and Shopping Guide:
Happy Holidays!
We all know that children spell love T-I-M-E. They need our presence much more than our presents. But parents often ask me for recommendations for toys for their child, or for a list of items they'll need for their new baby. So here you are -- and every item in this guide is something I personally believe in.
You'll note that my favorite toys can be used in open-ended ways to support creative play. To read more about the science behind developmentally appropriate toys, take a look at this article: Play, Creativity and Toys.
