Its that time of year! Christmas! When I used to shop for Dylan when he was Masons age I would buy the things he loved like musical toys, balls, and Winnie the pooh. But for Mason I learned I was very particular what we bought him. I would read the back of the box and look for the following...
What does this teach him? What are the benefits? What age is this toy for? Typically Mason plays with toys that are the age of 6-12 months but I was looking for the perfect sensory toys, cause and effect toys basically things that he can benefit from. I was talking to my mom because she wanted to buy him Christmas toys, I told her the things his therapist suggested, things I was looking to buy him and with one reply she said "Can I buy him anything fun or something he would like?" It was then I realized how obsessed I have began to get with Masons Christmas shopping. For the most part I bought him things he can use for therapy (stack able toys, cause and effect toys, and sensory toys) but I did throw in a few things he would like. :) I think overall Mason liked all his new toys.
(my mom bought this...both fun and beneficial.)
