a. Picture of toy from the internet MUST be uploaded here for credit: (Worth 1 point)
b. How does the recommended toy appeal to toddlers’ developing learning capacities? (Worth 1 point)
This toy is a bit more difficult to use than the toy I recommended for infant perceptual development.
It encourages a bit deeper of critical thinking, as the toddler will have to figure out where the blocks
will be able to fit onto the toy.
c. How does the featured toy promote perceptual development? (Worth 1 point)
This toy promotes perceptual development through object perception, and visually. It requires the
toddler to use cognitive skills to solve how the blocks fit onto the wood base.
d. Based on what you have learned, is this toy appropriate for this specified age range? Explain? (Worth
1 point)
Yes I believe this toy is appropriate for toddlers. It’s a bit more challenging than an infant toy, but
will engage the toddler in developing cognitive skills by problem solving.
