The Oppenheim Toy Portfolio has announced the Top 10 list of toys for children with ADHD. "There is no doubt that children with ADHD have special play needs. Choosing the right toys for them to play with in order to help their growth and development can be a challenge," said Stephanie Oppenheim, child development expert and co-founder of the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio. "The Oppenheim Toy Portfolio list provides a selection of toys that have been carefully reviewed to specifically meet the needs of children with ADHD."
The 10 toys that the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio has selected as the best toys for children with ADHD are:

The links I've posted for each item are just to give you an idea of what each product looks like and a description of each. I'm sure you could purchase these toys at numerous other places online as well. My ADHD child does have number 1, 2 & 6 and enjoys all three. I'm going to look into the other items for him as well.

Here are a few other toys that I have found listed as good for children with ADHD:

• Excellent Parents toys 1
• EP toys 2
• The Creativity Insitute
• Health News Digest
• Books about ADHD for children
