Mark your calendars and alert your supervisor and co-workers—Thursday, April 23 is Bring Your Child to Work Day!
Bring Your Child to Work Day represents a great opportunity to bond with your child, give them experience with the working world, and provides a unique learning opportunity that can’t be replicated.
If you’re planning on bringing your child to work that day, it’s important to have some engaging toys on hand—especially if you have little ones—to keep them occupied when they’re not attending meetings or working on projects with you.
Melissa & Doug curated this purposeful play list of toys for your consideration on Bring Your Child to Work Day. Scroll on to get our recommendations for encouraging developmental skills through play.
