What To Put In Your Toy Storage Bag For Toddler Development
When taking a hands-on approach with the development of your child, there are plenty of toys and interactive accessories to consider. Whether your toddler enjoys the achievement of putting puzzles together, or they have a musical interest, items can be stored within a large toy bag for easy use when out and about. For your child’s unique developmental needs, an array of items should be purchased and kept for safe use, with special care taken to ensure each is suitable for their age. Toddlers in particular are at a stage of development during which they will require toys that not only retain their interest, but also provide lasting opportunities for interaction and fun. Though the age at which your child will start to count, sing and read out words and letters may vary, toys and playthings are available which involve these interactive processes.
As tempting as it may be to opt for tablets, electronic devices and gadgets, some toys will never go out of fashion. Continue reading for a selection of ideal affordable children’s toys, and don’t miss out on your last chance to buy lovingly designed toy bags from ClayBear.
Sort And Stack Toys
Sort and stack toys are ideal when your little ones are learning to count, introducing them to the concepts of size and shape in an intriguing manner. Hand-to-eye coordination will be developed by tracking the objects, while older babies and toddlers can follow lights, sounds and flashing icons to then place the correct shape into the correct slot. Younger children may feel incentivised by a sound, however you can show toddlers that they have done well by praising them when they complete these fun processes correctly, reinforcing these positive behaviours and doing so in an enjoyable way will likely act as encouragement for the future.
Wooden Puzzles
Puzzles are an absolute classic and remain a traditional favourite. Easy to transport or carry in toy storage bags as well as being available in a variety of shapes and designs, these enjoyable miniature tasks are often fairly time-consuming, providing a sense of achievement once completed. The theming of wooden puzzles may even involve your child’s favourite TV cartoon, animal or action hero. By building up a child’s finger strength, problem solving skills and perseverance, the right wooden puzzle can set your toddler grow to be resourceful and prioritise critical thinking in tough situations. Purchase a wooden puzzle if you’re looking for a reusable toy which is made of sustainable recycled materials. Any questions about the sustainable values we maintain at ClayBear?

Toy Till
A toy till is an excellent way to teach your children about money, sharpen their maths skills and give them an idea of the value of everyday products and items. Discussing this with your child at an early age will give them the tools to develop these skills in their free time, and compliment their school curriculum as they are taught basic subtraction and addition. Practical maths knowledge will become a crucial life skill and could even form the basis of interests for your child. Required for an array of careers, job choices and activities outside of school, a toy till will provide plenty of joy as your child plays the role of shopkeeper and you the customer (or vice-versa).
Mini Piano
The best way to reinforce a behaviour is to begin at an early age and regularly practise that behaviour, therefore teaching your child to play a musical instrument may begin with them experimenting with a toy piano, drum kit or other kid-friendly musical object. The flashing lights and lively energetic music of a toy piano will ensure there’s plenty of fun and dancing, while the basic principles of playing music can be gamified and worked into playtime. Mini pianos will very often be small enough to fit into our spacious toy bags, or they may even be collapsable for convenience. Whatever your preferences, musical instruments are a brilliant boredom-buster.
Colouring Books
We’re all familiar with colouring books, and much like wooden puzzles, a colouring book can be themed around your toddler’s favourite animated movie or character. Purchase a selection of crayons or coloured pens and you’ll be ready to introduce an activity which benefits your child’s creativity, art skills and organisation. Colouring books can be easily stored and carried while offering hours of fun, so they’re an ideal toy to bring if you plan on spending time outside of the house but don’t have a huge amount of room in the car or need to carry such objects.
Sports Equipment
In the midst of Summer 2022, if you’re looking for an activity which keeps children intrigued, on their feet and focused, sports equipment for the garden will answer your questions. Whether you’re budgeting for a large goal net or a plastic bat and ball which can be easily contained in a toy storage hamper, sports equipment will provide guaranteed amusement, and this is one type of toy which parents can join in with as well. Toddlers will be keen to explore their surroundings, and choosing a toy which can be used outside will satisfy this curiosity. For weather-appropriate outerwear which is both comfortable on skin and stylish, browse our online range today. Considering a splash in the paddle pool? We’re also happy to provide assorted swimwear for your child’s first journey overseas, or a simple frolic in the garden.
Play Dough
Rarely will you find a nursery setting without play dough, and for good reason. This multi-use children’s toy can be useful for developing creative thinking, enhances social skills when used with other children, and also notably improves fine motor skills - the abilities needed to use their hands for everyday tasks and processes. Play Dough can be purchased in tubs, comprehensive sets and themed collections, with hours of fun to be had from constructing shapes, structures and multicoloured models from the substance. Exploring various textures and consistencies will benefit younger children the most, while play dough can easily be enjoyed by older children too. If you’re looking for a unique gift or item for a friend with children, and don’t want to settle on expensive branded toys, a gift card from ClayBear is likely to be the answer to all of your problems.
