Language Development Toys That Teach Toddlers to Talk

From Pronunciation to Conversational Skills, These Chatty Toys Can Help Kids Develop Language

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

Children acquire language in stages, through interaction with the adults and children in their lives. In addition to being regularly spoken to by people, babies can pick up additional language through television, radio, books, and toys. Although learning how to talk is something that comes mostly effortlessly as babies and toddlers hear more and more words, we've compiled a list of chatty toys that can help them to acquire more words through repetition, songs, and games.

Keep scrolling for the playthings that may help to teach your little ones new words, pronunciation skills, and more.
