Learning that every action has a reaction is important for all children to learn. This is very important during their early years.

There are many versions of this type of toy. I find the hammer ineffective and prefer to encourage the children to use their hands so that they have greater success. There are a number of concepts to focus on with this type of toy and they learn that if the ball goes in, the ball will come out somewhere else.

These types of toys require little ones to push a button or flip a switch and something happens. I like the pop-up toys that use primary colors because it makes it easier when trying to elicit language if the colors are primary.

I love these little toys. They are effective in motivating and encouraging little ones just learning to crawl to give chase. The product moves better on a flat surface but even on carpet, your little one will enjoy the chase.

These are so much fun with little ones. This type of toy helps build fine motor skills and simple concepts like "Push" or "Go".

Early Learning Activities and Concepts:
Colors: Names
Counting: Count the balls
In & Out
Push
Open & Closed
Following directions
Sequencing

These are just a few concepts to focus on with cause and effect toys. There is much more and many more toys out there to learn this concept.

Stay tuned for our next review and please let me know what you think! Please also comment on our poll and let me know what you thought of the toy. I'm open to suggestions so if you have anything you want me to review, I'd be happy to include it here.

Thanks! And until next time, Happy Playing!
