Playing with toys is the first opportunity a child has to explore and interact with the world on their own terms. To children, toys are more than just objects: they are companions, teachers, and super heroes that help guide them through a big and sometimes confusing world. They assist the physical, cognitive and emotional development that prepares children for adulthood. The Creativity Institute divides toys into four categories:
Toys for physical or muscle development such as wagons, bikes, boxes, puzzles, blocks, brooms, and shovels.
Toys for sensory (touch, sight, sound, taste, smell) development such as water toys, musical instruments, bubbles, play dough, and sand toys.
Toys for make-believe and social development such as dolls, dress-up clothes, cars, trucks, games, and books.
Toys for creative and intellectual development such as clay, crayons, paints, books, paper, and scissors. At Billie & Roo we believe the best toys are ones that engage a child’s senses, spark their imaginations, and encourage them to interact with others. We love toys!
Raising an independent eater can be a lengthy and somewhat overwhelming process for everyone involved. Thankfully, there are ways to make your little one’s self-feeding journey that little bit easier.
The We Might Be Tiny Feedie® Fork & Spoon Set ticks all the boxes as baby’s perfect first cutlery set.
The utensils are made from the highest quality stain-resistant silicone, which makes them extremely durable yet gentle on baby’s delicate gums. While the large grip handles perfectly fit your little one’s hand so they experience first self-feeding successes that will nurture their growing curiosity.
But the hidden lip is what makes our utensils such perfectly engineered mealtime companions with a difference.
If you’re a fan of home-made meals on the go you’ll love the handy slide-out travel case with cute bear sleepy eye details. Simply take your Feedie® Fork & Spoon Set with you for an eco-conscious toddler (and grown-up) outing in the park or when simply out and about.
Wanting to bring as much love, laughter and learning into the world through healthy, sustainable choices and good old-fashioned fun, Natural Living Foster (our physical store) and Billie & Roo were born. So what started off as a small kinesiology practice with a few healthy living products and a passion to protect our beautiful planet, soon became so much more. The joy we share with customers each day, whether in person or upon the opening of a new toy through the mail, is why we’re here. We hope you can be a part of our journey … we’d love to have you aboard.
