Crochet Activity Toys

A delightful collection of crochet amigurumi patterns for interactive, activity toys for babies and toddlers.

Evidence shows that play contributes to the development of important cognitive, motor, emotional and linguistic skills and plays a key role in raising self-confident, creative and happy children. And what could be better than a handmade crochet toy.

The crochet projects in this collection all have an interactive and educational element for play and this helps toddlers to meet important developmental milestones in a fun way. Author, Svetlana Golova, has designed a range of toys which can be played with in several different ways to enable children to develop a wide range of skills. Some of the toys feature different materials that make a noise in order to enhance the interactice experience and there are instructions for which materials to use.

The Monkey Shape Sorter, Elephant Stacking Toy, and Giraffe Threading Toy— along with other toys in this pattern book—will entertain babies and young children for a number of years and then, as the child grows older, they will become treasured members of a soft toy collection.

Other toys, including the quiet books and the Farmyard Activity Cube will appeal to adults and children alike who will enjoy playing and reading them together and making up their own stories.
