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!
From their first breath and throughout childhood, children explore and make sense of this world through their senses. They do this by touching, hearing, tasting, smelling, and seeing. They move around, manipulate objects, and are bombarded with sensory input and feedback from both within their bodies and their surrounding environment each second of the day. This constant process assists crucial brain development; helping them to process and respond to sensory information at more complex levels and to refine their thresholds for such input. Sensory toys and sensory play assist this development and can be particularly helpful for children with ASD, developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, sensory processing disorder or anxiety issues. At Billie & Roo we have a selection of sensory toys to help your child regulate their sensory input and be able to move, learn and interact more efficiently and happily.
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.
