Climbing plays an integral role in the development of children. It has been shown to help improve critical thinking ability, memory, and creativity. It also plays a key role in motor skill development. Climbing will help build a child's directional and spatial awareness as well as define their balance, agility, and hand-and-foot coordination. If you don't have any climbing toys, now is the time to get one! Here are the best climbing toys for your four-year-old.
