Playworks sells toys that invite play and enhance early childhood development [fun for all ages]

Early Toys introduce children to play and promote development. They introduce color, shape, size, texture, and weight, and provide progressively challenging experiences.

First Toys, the lightest, simplest ones, invite play that becomes more sophisticated as emerging skills allow the introduction of the more complex toys in Next Toys and Later Toys.

First Toys

First Toys introduce color, shape and texture exploration and provide initial cause and effect experiences. Among First Toys is the Wiggly Giggler rattle. Colorful, lightweight and easy to grasp, this rattle rewards shaking with tactile, auditory, balance and weight feedback.

Next Toys

Next Toys expand upon early experiences with color, shape, texture, and weight, introduce new ways to explore cause and effect and refine emerging gross and fine motor skills. Squeeze-A-Lot Blocks squeeze and squeak, stack and knock down. All sides feature raised pictures, including two in full color, providing tactile differences and language development.

Later Toys

Later Toys develop eye-hand coordination, more refined motor skills and foster emerging language and cognitive development. Exploring cause and effect now requires problem solving and persistence. Pop Up Toy is one example. This traditional wooden toy features four colorful peg people that bob up and down on concealed springs when pressed. The removeable pegs encourage eye-hand coordination as children take them out and put them back. Later play finds children matching pegs to block based on color.
