As an occupational therapist; my job is to play! (Read about why we use play in OT.) You don't need fancy toys to encourage learning through play. I'm a big believer in the cardboard box and how it can prompt imagination! Toys that I choose are very specific. I use toys to address many specific skills - fine motor, visual motor, problem solving, planning, social skills, handwriting, sensory motor development to name some... FUN is a big part of my selection process. I'm selective with games that I use in therapy sessions and have a wider range which I love to play with my family. Master YKOT is the king of board games here and we even love making our own games. I'm so excited to share with you the YKOT Amazon Store Page! I'm constantly asked about products that I use and where you can purchase them. It is difficult when my readers come from all over the world to point you to the right place. Whilst I support you looking for these items in your local toy or therapy store, the YKOT Amazon Store Page provides me with a platform to put all my favourite items in one place. I've collated this collection of recommended toys and games available many of which I have tried and test. Some are may be slightly different to the specific ones I own as I'm in Australia so the suppliers may be different. There are a few items that are on my own "wish list" so I might be shopping from my own page very soon! I have loosely categorised these items into LISTS
But note that many toys/games can achieve multiple skills simultaneously (which is often why I pick these specific items). These items contain affiliate links; which means that if you follow through with a purchase from these links YKOT will receive a percentage of the sale. PS: Don't forget to keep the cardboard box and inserts inside as they can be just as valuable as the item itself!!! Don't forget that I also design and create my very own printables, e-books and resources! These items will continue to be sold from the YKOT shop ($AUS) and on Teacher Pay Teachers ($US). With Christmas just a month away, now is the perfect time to start looking for those items that may help your child's develop and also make learning fun! Happy shopping!
