If one of your New Year's resolutions is to get more organized, then this is THE Melissa & Doug blog post for YOU.
Melissa & Doug specializes in creating skill-boosting developmental toys that promote and encourage kids to learn critical early learning skills through play. That includes a variety of toys across different play patterns that can help kids learn and develop organizational skills. And when kids develop these skills early on, it can be a benefit to them once they reach school age and beyond.
To do the heavy lifting for parents and caregivers, we’ve carefully curated a list of our top toys that teach kids organization skills. Scroll on to find your little one’s latest play obsession—and help teach them how to be organized in the process.
Top Melissa & Doug toys that promote organization skills
My Daily Routines Chart
Help kids establish good morning and nighttime habits right from the start with the sturdy wooden My Daily Routines Chart! Empower kids to be independent and help boost self-esteem with every flip of a flap! Includes language stickers for non-English speakers, and some blank ones to customize the routines.
My Magnetic Daily Calendar
Kids will feel a greater sense of control and responsibility when they help post the day of the week, date, weather, and special events on the large magnetic board for all to see. There's even a space to post their mood—an excellent way to open communication and encourage children to gauge their own emotions.
Sticker WOW! Collection
Our Sticker WOW! Collection is a fun-filled activity that lets kids stamp out stickers as they play, create, and learn. With innovative designs including collectible, refillable sticker stampers that can hold up to 300 refillable stickers, Sticker WOW! kits provides creative, skill-building play with 24-page activity pads that help kids learn counting, matching, creative projects, and more. Your little organizers can use our Sticker WOW! Collection to track chores and responsibilities on a DIY chart they can decorate with stickers, too!
Shape Sorting Clock
Children can match the colors, sort the shapes, and solve the puzzle as they manipulate the color blocks and turn the pretend clock’s hands, building cognitive and motor skills and laying the groundwork for learning to tell time. Activities printed right on the box encourage parent-and-child play, helping children begin to master early-learning concepts as they gain familiarity with the form of a clock and concepts of time.
Magnetic Responsibility Chart
Catch children in the act of behaving well and reward them, then watch those good habits multiply! Open the fabric-hinged boards to reveal a behavior chart on one board, while the other board keeps all the magnets close at hand.
