My son would love this set because he’s obsessed with cars and when our youngest gets older they can play together!ReplyCancel

When in doubt, go with Daniel Tiger ???? “You can take a turn, and then I’ll get it back.”ReplyCancel

Give kids lots of opportunities to share and lead by example.ReplyCancel

Most of the toys we keep out are “Family toys” which our children are required to share. If they aren’t in the mind to do so, then we set a timer.

It also helps that each child has a few special toys all their own that they choose whether or not anyone else can play with.ReplyCancel

The best way I’ve found to get my boys to share with each other and friends is to offer an alternative if they want to play with a toy the other has. These toys look awesome!ReplyCancel

Sometimes it’s fun to set up sharing excercies like sitting all the kids down and having them feed each other marshmallows or another little treat. Make sharing a fun game.ReplyCancel

Oh my goodness these are SO cute. I have never seen them before but will have to keep an eye out for them next time I am in Toys R Us. As a mom to 5 kids sharing is coming we are always working on, but coming from a big family it also comes a little more natural because there is always someone else touching your toys. It tends to help them see that it is still yours after someone else plays with it. It is ok to share, in fact sharing is fun (most the time lol). My kids would love all the toys but I think the Speedway or the Dump Truck with be the favorite!ReplyCancel

I like to get my son’s to share by reminding them how it feels to not be shared with.
My son would love the race track!ReplyCancel

My lil’ guy would love the dump truck!!! He loves his little oball car he has!ReplyCancel

My boys would LOVE the race track and share that better than the individual toys. We try to do activities that require them to work together i.e. Parachute games and them talk about why it is important to let others have turns. We also do a “team” cheer like they do before an athletic game. We use our family name and say, “Go team…” we talk constantly about how their brothers are each other’s best friends and that if the want to be a good friend outside of the home they need to practice at home the best behavior possible including sharing.ReplyCancel

My little boys would be so excited about that tall raceway! Looks like so much fun. I love your ideas. Modeling the right behavior and making it fun work the best at our house.ReplyCancel

Wow! I have never heard of this brand before. These toys look awesome! My little boy would love them.ReplyCancel

Sharing is never easy, it is something that has to be learned. But if you start young it can get easier and become part of who you are. Teaching by example is one of the post powerful ways to teach a child to share. I love them all, but the Speedway would have to be my top choice.ReplyCancel

My little one year old would love ANY of these!!!ReplyCancel

I have found over the years the best way to teach kids to share is have them ask one simple question, “can I have a turn when you’re done”. You would be surprised how many kids say yes you can have a turn when I’m done playing with it. And even more surprising is that half the kids actually go up to that child and say, “here you go” when they are done with the toy! I run a preschool and I have rarely had sharing problems using this simple technique. I’d love to teach my kids how to “share” your awesome toys you are giving away!ReplyCancel

If the kids are really struggling to share we have set a timer. It works great.ReplyCancel

If it’s a shared toy, we’ll put a time limit so each child gets a chance to play. 🙂 Such a fun giveaway! Thanks for all the great tips!ReplyCancel

I always asked my kids to share.. toys, food, a drink.. from a young age. I always interrupted them and asked them to share. I figured that if they were used to it from day one they wouldn’t mind sharing with friends, family, or their sibling. Even now, as they are school aged, they are usually always great about sharing!ReplyCancel

I love these ideas. I have many preschoolers just learning how to share. It’s something that we talk about on the daily.ReplyCancel

Oh my grandsons would LOVE these and boy, do they need to learn sharing as the youngest has now hit 17 months and thinks he needs everything his 4 year old brother has! They love everything cars and trucks and the speedway would knock their socks off! (and make me a cool grandma in the process)ReplyCancel

I think it takes lots of practice, time & patience! My two year old would love this! ????ReplyCancel

These are so cute!! My two year old would love all of these. Especially those ball cars!ReplyCancel

My son would love all of these, but probably the Oball Go Grippers Car Carrier would be at the top of his list!ReplyCancel

The speedway for sure! Fabulous fun!ReplyCancel

I have a 6 year old and a 3 year old. I will remind them to share twice, but on third time the toys go to time out. In order for toys to come out of time out, the kids have to settle down and decide how and who gets to play with it first. They have learned to govern themselves and control their tempers. There are times when the toys stay in time out for days.ReplyCancel

The Daniel tiger song has worked wonders for my 3 year old!ReplyCancel

All these toys look SO much fun!! Having a new little boy joining our family soon, these would be so much fun for him…and my 6 year old boy LOVES cars, and would equally love them! Providing a GREAT opportunity for them to share! 🙂 A tip that we use on sharing is the rule that if there is something special to them that they don’t want to share, then they need to keep it in a safe space/place for others to not have access to it…otherwise, it is up for sharing. 🙂ReplyCancel

The concept of taking turns has really helped my kids.ReplyCancel

We play games to practice sharing and taking turns. Simple as matching games and things. Also, we teach respect for special toy, such as the ones given by Grandparents. We also try and let them see it from the other child’s point for view. Explaining about feelings and showing love.ReplyCancel

My favorite way to teach my 2 year old to share is by playing with him and telling him, “It’s your turn with the car. And in a few minutes, it will be mommy’s turn with the car. And then it will be Eli’s turn again.” It’s working well so far. He has a little sister on the way, so we’ve been working on it a lot! I think his favorite toy from this collection would be the Speedway with all the loops and that claw feature, especially! He’d absolutely love it!ReplyCancel

My son would love the trucks! Love the tip about asking for a turn when they’re done.ReplyCancel

I think the biggest influence is going to be the parents. If you model good, kind & respectful behavior, they will see that and do the same. At least that’s how it’s been for us.ReplyCancel

What a neat toy, my little guy would love the dump truck!ReplyCancel

What a great thing to offer such fantastic toys and some ways to help kids to learn sharing. I have 2 grandsons 3 and 1 years old. This would be a great opportunity for them and myself on how to share and play together.ReplyCancel

My little boy is in love with cars. He would love these toys. I help kids share by having them take turns or finding something that has a lot of pieces so there is more things to play with. Kids learn to share the older they get so with my kids getting older the sharing issue is easier.ReplyCancel
