While in the pediatrician's office for their child's 12-month well-child exam, the parents ask the nurse for advice on age-appropriate toys for their child. Based on the child's developmental level, which types of toys would the nurse suggest?

1. Soft toys that can be manipulated
2. Small toys that can pop apart and go back together
3. Jack-in-the-box toys
4. Toys with black and white patterns
5. Push-and-pull toys


Correct Answer: 1,3,5
Rationale: Both gross and fine motor skills are becoming more developed, and children at this age enjoy toys that can help them refine these skills. They tend to enjoy more colorful toys at this age and are more mobile and thus have less interest in placing toys in their mouths and more interest in toys that can be manipulated.
