SLP Recommended Toys
As a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist, I have personally used each of these toys in my therapy sessions and have seen firsthand how they support communication, language, and early learning skills. These recommendations are based on real experience — I’ve witnessed children make meaningful progress in requesting, labeling, following directions, and social interaction while engaging with these fun, developmentally appropriate toys. Check back often for updates and new recommendations as I continue to discover toys that support speech and language development.
Counting Surprise Party
This toy helps children practice requesting, following directions, identifying colors and numbers, using core words, social greetings, spatial concepts, and labeling objects — all through playful, interactive learning.
Spin Stacker
The Spinning Stacking Toy encourages requesting, turn-taking, and understanding spatial concepts like in/out and on/off, while providing movement-based sensory input that keeps children engaged and motivated.
Mystery Box
Children practice essential speech and language skills — requesting, core words, labeling objects, and following directions, spatial concepts — while exploring the Mystery Box , which provides sensory input through different textures and sounds.
Piggy Bank
This engaging toy guides children through the stages of play — from exploring to using toys functionally — while encouraging language skills (requesting, core words, labeling), counting, and problem-solving.
