Toys for bedridden children

For children who are ill or injured enough to be bedridden, it is a special challenge to find enough activities to keep them busy and amused.

When using television or DVDs, careful selection can make it an educational and enriching experience as well as fun. Try to provide some sort of additional activity to match. Toys that can keep their minds active include jigsaws and small puzzles, drawing and craft equipment, and small musical instruments.
