Q. I am in a child development class for school and we have to make a child's toy. What toy is easy to make that also allows the child to learn and interact with?
Answer
How about a simple puzzle made from foam or cardboard. Shape sorter toys can be made easily. You can take a shoe box and cut holes in the top the same shape as your child safe objects. You can use blocks, toilet paper tubes and any object large enough they cant choke on for shapes. You could make a sock puppet and make a little play.

Answer
I would make a "taggy" ball. You can construct it out of fabric in 6 panels like a beach ball and sew ribbon tags into the seams. When you are stuffing it, add a few jingle bells so it makes noise (sew it shut tightly so it is not a choking hazard). Use different colored ribbons so you can use it for color ID games and counting practice as well as gross motor and social games. Use varied textures of ribbon like grosgrain, satin and velvet so it is a tactile experience for fine motor development too. I wouldn't use anything battery operated that speaks or lights up as these toys do not foster development like a toy that allows a child to use their own imagination and creativity. In fact, I don't even allow battery operated toys in my house!
Have fun!
