Toddlers are children aged between 12 and 36 months of age. In terms of development, this is one of the richest and most intense learning periods. Social, emotional, cognitive and physical development happens in leaps and bounds. There’s something new that she/he learns every day!

Keeping pace with your toddler is no easy task. They are mobile, curious and exploratory. Safety can be a concern as they’re not old enough to make the right judgments.

At this stage, the right toys can keep them engaged, occupied, entertained and safe, while contributing to their overall development. Fisher-Price toys have entertained kids around the world for decades and their Little People Musical Preschool playsets are among the most popular playthings.
