Despite being tiny, babies can get themselves into big trouble. Yet many of us aren’t confident in our ability to help our children when they are injured or hurt.

The statistics to support this are frankly staggering, and a little bit frightening. With over 500,000 children per year needing to go into casualty, only 10% of parents are confident in their first aid skills.

Here at Wooden Toy Shop, we thought we’d try and do our bit to spread the word about first aid so parents can learn to help their babies when they are injured. We hope that by reading about some of the first aid techniques you can use, many of you will be spurred onto to go to specialist first aid courses. If that’s you, then you can use the links below to find a course for you.

The techniques we cover in this piece are to help you in some of the most common ways babies find themselves in trouble. This includes what to do when your child is choking, unconscious or not breathing, has been burnt or scalded, or has been cut, bruised or bleeding.

Tummy time and play time is, of course, vital to a child’s development. It should also be a lot of fun! While we’re sure any time you spend with your toddler will be positive, we thought it would be a great idea to put together a simple guide to some of the most constructive games you can play with your toddler.

The guide is split up into four sections; language, movement, co-ordination and creative skills. Within which are simple games that don’t require buying much of the way in props. Indeed, for many of these games you could improvise and make your own props should you wish. In every case the most crucial component to your child’s development is you. You will be their best, most interactive and most interesting toy; and your involvement in these games is crucial to their development.

From games you can play when you’re sitting in a waiting room, to games you play by simply turning your living room into an adventure playground; these are all easy to devise and lots of fun both for you and your child to play.

Obviously every child develops at a different rate, so while these are aimed roughly at those starting to toddler around they can be adapted for older and younger children.
