Toy Ideas for Children with Cerebral Palsy and Special Needs

One of the more common problems with mainstream toys is that they are meant to be used with two hands- often times children with cerebral palsy will have limited use of one side of the body or the use of only one hand. Toys should be fun and children should have a feeling of accomplishment or success when playing- not frustrated or reminded of what they cannot do.

Many of commercial toys on the market can be adapted or used by children with cerebral palsy.

There are many toys that you can buy at any toy store or department store that are affordable and fun to use. Look for toys that can be used with one hand. Musical instruments are great for this- a trumpet, harmonica, xylophone or maracas. These also develop a sense of cause and effect with young children and help controlled movement with older children.

Magnetic type toys are all the rage and a big hit with kids of all ages- there are tons of magnetic toys available in many forms- magnetic jig saw puzzles, magnetic construction toys and magnetic marbles.

A simple ball is a lot of fun and great for developing coordination- get a neat ball that glows in the dark, flashes lights or play music when you roll it.

Toys or play that involve the senses will help with sensory integration development. Sand and water are great for this. You can also fill a empty dish pan with uncooked rice- a great makeshift sand box for a rainy day. A tip to avoid sand box mess: put the sandbox on cement blocks- will be at waist level and kids won’t get sand in all their clothes.

Toys that help with coordination and controlled movement are also a good choice. Bowls filled with beads, beans or jelly beans are good for sorting, counting and grouping. Excellent for controlled movement. Building blocks- simple wooden blocks, large dominoes for stacking also help with controlled movement. Also try empty milk cartons for stacking.

Play-doh is always a favorite- make your own play-doh and use Kool-Aid to not only color it but give it a fruity scent. Your child will be developing sensory awareness and visual motor integration skills as he plays.

Keep a box around filled with wheeled toys. Toy trucks and cars of all sizes. These deal with non-verbal expression, problem solving and self-control.

Keep toys in site so your child can see what available- avoid opaque containers and lids. Baskets are great for this.

You can find many toys in local stores and make your own from even around your house without having to spend a lot of money on adaptive or special needs toys. Mainstream toys help with developmental skills such as cognitive awareness, controlled movement and coordination- and don’t forget they are fun!

About the Author

LJ Stewart is homeschool mom and professiona lwriter. She has special interest in providing support to families coping with cerebral palsy and other preventable birth injuries.

My niece has cerebral palsy, but I’m guessing she’s high functioning. She’s four years old, and can walk, talk, feed herself, change her clothes, recognize objects. I think she’s fairly smart, she has great vocabulary and understands things well. She is almost, blind, though. She can see things when they’re held very close to her face. And she is having a problem using the toilet. My brother and sister in law spoil her horribly and never discipline her for bad behavior, saying she can’t help herself. I beg to differ, seeing as when i baby sit her I lay down the rules with her and I don’t let her get away with murder (i.e. snatching toys, pushing kids out of the way to get on the slide, not sharing, throwing temper tantrums). When I’ve discussed this with my brother, he always says she can’t help herself because her brain is different than ours. He said when he took her to get an MRI, instead of the left and right hemispheres being distinctly separate, her MRI looked like one big circle instead of two ovals. Does anyone know what this is? He didn’t tell me any more than that, and I don’t know what it’s called so I’m having a hard time finding it on Google. And does it really affect behavior?

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden Ramp Racer Game

51J2iyxTE9L Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden Ramp Racer Game Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden Ramp Racer Game It’s an exciting game of speed for one or two players! Choose the police car or the taxi, then individually release the starting levers and watch the wooden cars speed through colorful cityscapes and down the five brightly-colored, wooden ramps. Measures 22″ x 23.5″ x 6″ when assembled.
Customer Review: Disappointment
I bought this toy for my 2 year old son, who like every other 2 year boy old LOVES cars! Amazon was GREAT with the fast shipping! We were very happy until Christmas day when we found that the toy did NOT come with the screws needed to put it together. THE SCREWS WERE NOT IN THE BOX!!!! After the the long and gruesome search for the screws that WERE NOT THERE through all of our Christmas wrapping paper AND seeing my son’s sad face icon sad Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden Ramp Racer Game I would like to tell Melissa & Doug YOU RUINED MY SON’S CHRISTMAS!!! When we finally were able to put it together with screws that we bought, the cars that the set came with couldn’t make it down the ramp WITHOUT flipping over!!! THIS TOY WAS A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!! I have always felt that Melissa & Doug was one of the best toy venders out there, known for their sturdiness and eye catching toys; but after a few disappointing purchases, and this one in general, I will pass when i see Melissa & Doug!
Customer Review: Expensive but we love it
Bought this for my son when he was 2 years old for Christmas. He saw it in a toy store from his stroller when he was 18 mos. old and was instantly in love with it. He still plays with it today (he’s 3 now), and we feel we got alot of use out of it for a $40 race car toy. It is extemely durable like most Melissa and Doug toys are. The colors and the thrill of the races will keep your child busy with this one.

Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway – Lighthouse Bridge with Bulstrode

41jtGoAaJNL Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway   Lighthouse Bridge with Bulstrode Thomas & Friends Wooden Railway – Lighthouse Bridge with Bulstrode With its bright light and working foghorn, the Lighthouse keeps ships safe in the harbor. Bulstrode the Barge also works nearby, blowing his horn as he passes below the bridge. Just push the roof to activate the light and hear sounds on The Lights & Sounds Lighthouse, and push the lever to raise and lower the drawbridge. Hear the barge horn blow when the bridge is raised. Includes lighthouse, Bulstrode the Barge and one male/male adapter track piece. Requires 2 “AA” batteries, included. Measures approximately 15.0″ x 7″ x 7.”
Customer Review: Thomas Lighthouse Bridge and Bulstrode
Another great idea from Thomas! I purchased the lighthouse and bridge for my grandson’s, Dominic, 5th birthday and, of course, his brother, Cristian, 4, joined in the fun. They had been to the marina and were familiar enough with the boats and lighthouse to be able to relate to this wonderful addition to the Thomas Railway system. The lights and sounds of the lighthouse and bridge are delightful! It adds yet another dimension to the imaginative play world of Thomas. Highly recommended!
Customer Review: Great fun and something different for the Thomas tracks
My 5 y.o. saw this in a hobby store and had to have it. I made him wait for Christmas and he was so excited when he received it for a Christmas present. He absolutely loves playing with it. We have to turn the lights off in the room so he can do the lighthouse light! It’s especially meaningful to him since we spent Thanksgiving at the beach and visited so many lighthouses. The fog horn is realistic and even my 7 y.o. gets in on playing with it.
