World Vision Toy Guide for Early Childhood Development

This booklet contains instructions for parents and caregivers to make simple toys for children 0-6 and 6-9 years. It also includes ideas for engaging young children with those toys and games. The toys and activities promote development across four domains: literacy, numeracy, physical, and socio-emotional.

There are several versions of the booklet to ensure that it is appropriate across multiple cultural contexts. 

Please review each booklet to determine which is right for your audience.
