Toys for the Child Who Won't Sit Still: Movement Play That Helps

Is your child happiest when they're spinning, jumping, or climbing—and a struggle to keep seated? This book is your calming, no-hype guide to the toys and play that actually channel that energy into real skill-building. From balance boards that strengthen core stability to weighted stuffed animals that teach body awareness, each chapter names a specific toy, explains what developmental skill it targets, and gives you age‑appropriate ways to play together so the learning happens naturally. You'll learn what to buy, what to skip, and how to create a movement‑friendly space without spending a fortune—many of the best tools are simple and low‑cost. Warm, evidence‑informed, and free of guilt, Toys for the Child Who Won't Sit Still helps you see your child's need for motion as a strength, not a problem. Great play need not be expensive. Part of The Purposeful Play Library.
