Podcast / 15 November, 2022 / My Baba
My Baba’s Editor Ellie Thompson welcomes Lisa Lohiser and Corinne Eggleston from the Fisher-Price Play Lab to the show to talk about the best developmental toys and the role they play in Early Childhood Development. They discuss their top picks for baby and toddler gifts this Christmas, and how to engage with your child to get the most out of every play session.
When it comes to the best developmental toys for kids, they take a trip down memory lane to revisit the Fisher-Price toys from the ’80s, exploring how and why toys have evolved over the decades and which iconic toys are still standing the test of time today.
Lisa and Corinne also unveil their new Play Programme in partnership with Family Action, why it’s an important resource for new parents, and where they can access free support, tips, advice and information on play and child development.
