They are not quite ready for reading books or surfing the Internet, but it won't be long before they get to that so enjoy this phase while it lasts! Parents can spend a lot of money on fancy electronic toys and battery-powered gadgets but they will have a hard time finding anything more effective than one of the simplest, oldest and lowest cost toys available, building blocks.Building blocks toys will do as much and possibly more than any other toy to encourage a child's growth and development.
