This assignment is associated to the Bio-social Domain and focuses on WHY a toy design is appropriate for a child of a particular age. This assignment requires the student to know and identify the gross, fine and perceptual skills of 2 different children within specified age groups. Then the student is to identify, in detail, why the toy they have chosen complements these skills by its design.

The age groups for this assignment are 6 months -15 months and 18 months – 36 months. Students will need to identify two different toys and describe two different age gross, fine and perceptual skills. You must identify the SPECIFIC AGE of the child, not the age range. For example: You choose an 8 month old child and a 24 month old child to describe and then select a toy to discuss.

Be sure to cite and reference all of the FACTS included in this assignment using APA style. Remember that sources of facts should be professional and credible. DO NOT CITE THE TOY MANUFACTURER.

NOTE: You MUST choose a toy that allows the child to include a pushing or pulling activity. You MUST identify why the chosen toy meets the toy criteria for this assignment.

Remember: Match the toy to the child, not the child to the toy.
