Let’s face it. Boys love construction toys. Somehow boys are attracted to dirt. I wanted to share some of my favorites with you if you are looking for good, flexible, fun toys to set up a scenario to encourage language development. Therapists can use these toys to build language lessons as kids are interested in this theme.
I recently discovered “WOW” toys and their set of construciton vehicles. Durable for hard kids’ play, and running on kid power–no batteries– these vehicles have people to get the action going. Designed for the toddler set and up, little ones just push to get these trucks going, “Mix ‘n’ Fix Mike” is the cement truck whose friction motor rotates the cement drum, complete with swirly cement design and added realistic sounds. A detachable barrier can keep the construction spot safe or be stored on the back of the truck. “Dexter the Digger” and “Dudley Dump Truck” can be added to the builiding adventure with digging and dumping action.
Another favorite to bring on the pretend play is the Lego Duplo
