Nowadays kids are inundated with electronic toys. Everything from iPads to toy fire trucks have screens, sounds, and lights that kids just love. But some of the best toys out there don’t require batteries or charging. They encourage kids to use their imaginations and also give their language a boost! Here are our top five language-boosting toys for the holidays:

1. Puppet Theater

Who doesn’t love a good puppet show? Puppets can encourage imagination, language, and social-emotional regulation through storytelling.

2. Scooters, Gliders, Skateboards, and Bikes

Why not work on language while getting some fresh air? Kids can learn a whole new set of vocabulary words outside while having fun!
