Dr. Toy's Smart Toys - 2004 Main

We proudly bring you this new feature of these "Products of Excellence" based on the theme of our newly revised book Smart Play/Smart Toys How to Raise a Child with a High P. Q. (Play Quotient).

We want to you to have additional guidance in finding and selecting the best toys and learning products that fit a variety of types of skills for each age. Each product is designated to assist your child with specific developmentally appropriate activities.

You will be able to search for the products that your child needs and find exactly what will work to facilitate their process of learning through play. You will be able to suggest products you feel are valuable. We will continue to add to the resources as often as possible.

Many people think play is trivial, but it isn't. Play is vital for the developing mind because it allows children to extend their imagination, resourcefulness, social interaction, problem-solving skills and resilience.

The book, and the guidance on this site, will help you navigate the thousands of toy and play options available, offers tips on how to evaluate toy safety, and provides 160 activities that enhance PQ.

In addition, Smart Play/Smart Toys identifies appropriate types of toys and guides you on how to make the most of toys, important craft supplies for playtime, and hundreds of ways to make play a life-long and nurturing experience.
