A few months ago I read an article in Parent’s magazine about toys that promote creativity.  I thought this was such a great list of ideas to think about when buying toys. These are all toys that a child can learn from and play with for hours.  I searched Etsy for my favorite picks that will help your child become super creative and still have tons of fun.

The Parent’s magazine list had 10 different toys to consider:
Puzzles
Pretend Food
a Ball
Musical Instruments
Artist Tools
Molding Clay or Dough
Mini Figurines
Dress Up Materials
Gears (Couldn’t find any gear toys on Etsy)
Toys for Building
Here are my favorites from all of these categories (click on the images to find out more):
