Promoting 2-year-olds' development
Which toys are suitable for 2-year-olds?
We provide assistance to support you with your choice of toys for children aged 2 years and up.
Compared to their first months, young children's gross and fine motor
skills begin to increase more and more at this stage. It's easier for
them to recognise an interaction of their motor skills and cognitive
skills. That being said, their vision skills and hand-eye coordination
are still developing, but activities such as throwing and catching
become easier. Two-year-olds still like playing by themselves, but start
developing a strong interest in social activities. Nevertheless, it's
still difficult for children aged 2 years and up to focus their
attention on one activity longer.
Children's comprehension of
sizes, shapes, and colours continues to increase, and they're able to
put together simple puzzles. Children's toys for two-year-olds don't
have to be extremely detailed because they're not quite able to
differentiate between finer details yet. Simple shapes with fewer
details are the better choice for this age. They can also now ride on
balance bikes that they can slow down with their feet. They can learn to
use pedals on a step-by-step basis. In addition, 2-year-olds learn by
imitating and repeating actions. They like imitating Mum and Dad the
most.
