It has been 20 years since Toys“R”Us, Inc. first published the Toys“R”Us Toy Guide for DifferentlyAbled Kids®. We are proud that, over the years, this beloved catalog has become a premier resource, showcasing specially selected toys that aid in the skill development of children who have physical, cognitive or developmental disabilities.

This year, we are delighted to feature World Champion baseball player, Albert Pujols, on the cover of the Guide. Best known for his accomplishments as a professional athlete, the role Albert holds near and dear to his heart is being a father of five and advocate for the special needs community. Inspired by his daughter, Bella, he and his wife established the Pujols Family Foundation, which promotes awareness, provides hope and meets tangible needs for families and children living with Down syndrome.

As part of our mission to create positive experiences for ALL children, regardless of ability, we are presenting this year’s Guide with the hope that the toys featured help foster inclusion, inspire children to reach new milestones and work toward developing critical skills, while having fun.

Top Ten Tips for Buying Toys

Top Ten Tips for Buying Toys Prepared by the National Lekotek Center Selecting a toy for a child who has a disability? Here are the questions the play experts at the National Lekotek Center ask when choosing developmentally appropriate toys for kids with special needs.

1. Multi-Sensory Appeal Does the toy respond with lights, sounds or movement to engage the child?

Are there contrasting colors? Does it have a scent? Is there texture?

2. Method of Activation Will the toy provide a challenge without frustration? What is the force required to activate? What are the number and complexity of steps required to activate?

3. Places the Toy Will Be Used Will the toy be easy to store? Is there space in the home? Can the toy be used in a variety of positions such as side-lying or on a wheelchair tray?

4. Opportunities for Success Can play be open-ended with no definite right or wrong way?

Is it adaptable to the child’s individual style, ability and pace?

5. Current Popularity Is it a toy that will help the child with special needs feel like “any other kid”? Does it tie in with other activities, like books and art sets, that promote other forms of play?

6. Self-Expression Does the toy allow for creativity, uniqueness and making choices?

Will it give the child experience with a variety of media?

7. Adjustability Does it have adjustable height, sound volume, speed and level of difficulty?

8. Child’s Individual Abilities Does the toy provide activities that reflect both developmental and chronological ages? Does it reflect the child’s interests?

9. Safety and Durability Does the toy fit with the child’s size and strength? Does it have moisture resistance?

Are the toy and its parts sized appropriately? Can it be washed and cleaned?

10. Potential for Interaction Will the child be an active participant during use?

Will the toy encourage social engagement with others?

The toys featured in the Toys“R”Us Toy Guide for Differently-Abled Kids have been selected and evaluated by the National Lekotek Center, a nonprofit organization dedicated to making play accessible for children of all abilities.

The Complete Kindergarten Learning Kit LeapFrog Taking kids past ABCs and 123s, this kit encourages young children to focus on higher order thinking to prepare them for “real” school learning. Activity workbooks, flashcards and a write on/wipe off dry-erase printing practice book help prepare children to experience success in school by exposing them to the subject matter and giving them time to repeat the activities to solidify fundamental learning. Best of all, little learners can play at their own pace by attempting new challenges and reinforcing mastered skills!
