. Toddlers like to build: Large chunky bricks or blocks are perfect for that age group - 18 months to 3 years plus. There are various makes suitable like Duplo (Lego) and Mega Blocks. Toddlers may like to discover their DIY skills with a lovely workbench with screws and bolts to be manipulated in 'planks of wood'. Or boys in particular would delight in having a construction truck to push along.Construction toys benefit toddlers in many ways. Their fine motor skills develop through careful manipulation of parts and their imaginations are stimulated through making up games to play and following through on their ideas in construction. Toddlers love toys that they can play alongside other children. Sitting building is an ideal occupation alongside older siblings, where the older children can demonstrate new ideas and interact with the toddler. Little people together can delight in each others' creations - and knock them down.
