Hi there,

At The Inspired Treehouse, we believe play is powerful - and that the right toys can be tools that help kids build skills in a natural way.

The right toys don’t always need batteries or complicated instructions. They simply invite kids to move, explore, problem-solve, and repeat experiences that strengthen their bodies and brains over time.

✨ Pro Tip:
​If a toy encourages movement, two-handed play, impulse control/waiting, creativity, repetition, requesting/interacting - it’s supporting development, even if it looks simple.

Scroll down to check out some of our favorite new toys!
