Toys and Games that Support Good Vision

Toys and Games that Support Good Vision

Did you know that there are many children’s toys that support and help develop good visual skills? Good visual skills are essential for reading and learning. We’d love to share our list with you!

Toys that support good vision include toys that emphasize small-motor, eye movement skills, as well as toys that require larger gross-motor skills and visual perceptual skills.

Here are some suggested toys and games, divided by age range. Remember, though, children grow and develop at different rates. The age ranges are meant to be a general guideline. Many older children still enjoy playing with toys that are designed for younger ages, and some young children are ready for more advanced activities sooner than others of similar age. Follow your instincts when selecting toys and games for your children. We hope you find our suggestions useful.
