Rudkins Toys

Rudkins Toys came about following a need to develop my own son’s speech when he was two years old. I could not find anything suitable. At the end of my son’s first speech therapy session I was given a black and white sheet of paper with animals on it. I developed the animal matching game from this and used this game and others like it as a way of extending his vocabulary and encouraging him to communicate with me.

I feel very strongly that games, specifically designed for our children, should be widely available to every parent or educator who has children with special needs. The only way was to design and produce them myself. I was aware that the games needed to be simple, use real life images (ok but who can resist dinosaurs?), be safe, durable and have fun and engaging visuals. So that is what I set out to do.
