Child Development and STEAM Toys

Is your child a budding mathematician or engineer? Find just the right STEAM toys for them at Crate & Kids. Not only do STEAM and child development toys help nurture their analytical nature, they also encourage being creative in fun and exciting ways. Science gifts, for instance, help tots explore our universe, while wooden blocks set the basis for engineering know-how. For tykes that are interested in numbers, consider a STEAM toy that helps with their identification. No matter which STEAM field your little one is passionate about, these children's development toys help enhance their abilities, while also providing stimulation and entertainment. If your sprout is too young to fully take advantage of STEAM toys, consider starting with baby toys for development instead.

Open-Ended Toys for Kids and Toddlers

Open-ended toys allow children's imaginations to run wild. Instead of following specific rules, little ones explore different uses for the toys which allows for the discovery of new and exciting playtime possibilities. Kids art toys such as markers and easels are some of the best open-ended toys for kids and toddlers. Encourage your child to follow their instincts and express themselves on a canvas with drawing and painting utensils. Or, choose art toys in the musical realm. For instance, help them make beautiful melodies with a miniature xylophone. Check out open-ended art and STEAM toys for creative children of all kinds.

Not sure where to start when looking for Christmas gifts for kids, Hanukkah gifts for kids or Easter gifts for kids? Consider child development toys that make a big impact. Kids' activity tables and toy workbenches, for instance, encourage tots to use their hands while also helping them master basic coordination. Additionally, practical baby Christmas gifts, like teethers and block puzzles, are ideal for families who want to keep gift-giving simple. If your child is about to complete another circle around the sun, consider going for thoughtful open-ended toys as birthday gifts for kids, toddler birthday gifts or baby birthday gifts instead.
