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!
Our wooden instruments are a great way to introduce your child to the fun and benefits of music. Whether it be banging on a drum, strumming a guitar or hammering it out on an xylophone, a musical instrument can provide hours of fun as well as serving as an avenue for self-expression and the release of pent up energy.
Did you know that studies have shown that babies and toddlers who are exposed to music go on to perform better in areas such as language development, speech, listening and reading skills? Playing a musical instrument can also help develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination whilst the use of a variety of wooden instrument toys of different sizes, shapes and types will encourage different muscle areas to strengthen and develop. Wow. Perhaps a little more jamming at Billie & Roo 'headquarters' may be necessary??? Bring out the instruments we say!
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.
