Recommended Toys for Autistic Kids

As if having a child with autism isn't challenging in itself, finding toys that will not frustrate or confuse your child can be a difficult task. Discovery Toys has toys that are recommended for children with autism.

Busy Bugs

Busy bugs teach math skills with flash cards and small bugs. Beacuse it has small pieces, this is not recommended for children who still put toys in their mouth. Use bugs to learn addition facts in a concrete way, perfect for the autistic mind.

Roll and Play

This is an easy to understand game that incorporates colors and pretending. Imaginative play is something that typically is difficult for an autistic child to learn. This game gets the whole family involved, teaching the child more imaginative thinking.

EZ Blocks

These blocks can help improve confidence and reduce fits from the blocks falling over. These blocks do not tumble as easily as normal blocks, they come with different colors, shapes and sounds (due to shakers inside the blocks).

My Busy Day

These blocks are a good starting point to getting your child used to looking at a schedule. A structured schedule is essential for a child with autism. These blocks nestle for space saving cleanup.

Rough and Tough Book Sets

These books cover different types of vehicles and have textures and fun facts about the vehicles. This type of book is good for any child who finds animals and machines with human characteristics upsetting.
