What kind of learning tools (toys or books etc) for my 13 month old daughter? I want her to pick up words and understand colours, since she loves Lego toys.

Children this age should be encouraged to expand on their oral language, e.g learning the names of things around them, learning to form 2 word phrases and learning to understand instructions. Caregivers can support this learning by talking and playing with them. They are not expected to learn letters or words yet. Cause and effect toys (e.g. toys that make a noise if something is pressed) are interesting to kids this age as are toys with parts that they can manipulate with their fingers.
