As a new mom, Allison Croghan wanted to check out some of the toys that are popular this year for Christmas.
So she went to check out Tutoring Toy in Foothill Village.
Casey Sartain says they've set up the store based on age ranges, so they have items for newborn to six months old, six months old a year and so forth.
For a year-old child, like Allison's son, he recommends a toy piano (think Guitar Hero for kids). It teaches colors and hand-eye coordination as they play.
Casey also told Allison about the Gecko Run, it's a marble run that you can set up on anything smooth.
But, THE big game of the year for families? Casey's prediction is that it will be "Trash Talk", which is a word association game that you can play with a group, or teams.
At Tutoring Toy you can find the right toy based on what need your child has. They'll help you find it for everything from social and language skills to emotional skills and cognitive skills.
