Great Benefits Toys can give Children

My daughter received a present that she really loves.

It is a baby doll that stands eighteen inches in height. The first thing I thought when I saw the adorable present was where on earth I was going to find 18 inch doll clothes. You really don’t see items like this in toy stores very much, at least not that I had ever noticed.

I did begin my search for 18 inch doll clothes in toy stores in my area with no luck.

I found the occasional outfit here and there but my choices were really limited. Even so, I managed to make some promising purchases of 18 inch doll clothes for my daughter to enjoy. The benefits of having a number of different outfits for a child’s toy are great.

First of all the child is encouraged to communicate.

You can prompt your child to ask for certain items out of the collection of 18 inch doll clothes. Then you can encourage you child to tell you which body part the item belongs to. This is a great learning exercise that helps your child develop good language skills and body awareness.

Another great benefit of having a selection in your 18 inch doll clothes is that putting the clothing items on and off helps your child develop good fine motor skills. Many of the toy outfits have buttons and zippers as well as ribbons to tie. The act of pulling the clothes on and off is good exercise for the little digits as well.

The last benefit that I can think of involves attention to task.

As many parents know, children often have short attention spans. Having a collection of 18 inch doll clothes for the toy gives the entire activity interest and depth. If your child has a lot of choices then chances are she will remain on task for a longer period of time.

Since I have such motivation to find a good collection of 18 inch doll clothes for my daughter I decided to do a little research on my computer. I was delighted to find a ton of clothing for toys online. I could buy any number of items in one online visit. The great thing about shopping like this is that I could make my daughter a part of the activity.

When we shop in toy stores she becomes easily distracted by the many toys and games in the shop. Shopping online keeps both of us focused on the 18 inch doll clothes. It gives us some time to enjoy each other as well.
