Alex Jr. Bon Voyage Toy

My 6 month old son LOVES this toy! He loves the little crinkly luggage items in the back of the car. He chews on them and squeezes them he just loves the feel and the sound! He likes to kick the car, as it's really big for him to hold on to just yet. He likes the trunk w/the mirror too, because that crinkles. It's a great go-to toy!

I never thought packing the car was particularly fun until I watched a one-year-old happily stuff the picnic basket, hat, ball, umbrella and suitcases into the trunk of this squishy, plump car. Eight soft, crinkly pictures to pack delighted toddlers as they smashed the items into the little hand-sized compartment in the back of the car, shut the door and secured the silver tab to keep their prized possessions safe. As only toddlers know, it is just as much fun to take everything out as it is to put it in. Take a peak at yourself in the back mirror, open the hatch and start all over. Easily grabbable, this cushy car feels like a pillow and gets grabbed as a rattle too.

As a speech-language expert at Play On Words, I tell parents that language building begins as you follow your child's lead as they hand you the items or start to load them in the car. Name them, talk about their shapes, colors and what we do with them--"The goggles, we need them to see underwater." "The picnic basket, that's where we load our food for lunch." Use rich vocabulary to build your child's word base and strengthen language skills. During the first year and a half is when parents can build their child's receptive language (understanding) in preparation for their saying words and little sentences at two years of age.
