Dear Parents and Friends,
As many of you know, my mother, Eunice
Kennedy Shriver, started the Special Olympics,
the largest sports organization in the world for
the intellectually disabled. Through the Special
Olympics, I had the great opportunity to view
firsthand how children’s spirits can be lifted
by exploring their capabilities. I’m sure you’ll
agree, there’s an inspiring sense of victory and pride when a child
with special needs meets a challenge.
That rewarding feeling can be experienced during playtime as well.
Within this guide, Toys“R”Us has gathered a collection of toys
that offer entertaining ways to build skills, teach cause and effect,
stimulate role play and more. These toys help to empower differently-
abled kids, encouraging them with a “can-do” attitude in a world that
too often assumes they cannot.
Over the years, this guide has become a must-have for anyone
who’s admired a special child’s incredible determination to succeed,
to learn and to play. I am honored to be this year’s spokesperson
for the 2007
Toys“R”Us Toy Guide for Differently-Abled Kids
. Because
all children are deserving of victories… and because every child, no
matter their level of ability, holds great promise.

Easy-To-Use Toy Selection Guide
Find the right fit between a child’s abilities and stimulating toys that
will promote development. Use these symbols to guide your selection.
Dear Parents and Friends,
At Toys“R”Us, children are the
inspiration for what we do every
day–offer the best and broadest
selection of toys available for
children of every ability. Each year,
we have the unique opportunity
to present a collection of toys for
children with special needs,
appropriately selected for their
play and skill-building value. Our
commitment to fulfilling that goal
continues with this 15th edition
of the
Toys“R”Us Toy Guide for
Differently-Abled Kids
.
Once again, we are proud to be
supported by the experts at the
National Lekotek Center, renowned
for their work in evaluating the best
play opportunities for differently-
abled children.
To make your toy choices easier,
specific symbols indicate each
toy’s skill-building benefits. Also,
for the first time, we’ve included
a helpful index on pages 52-55
to guide your toy selections
according to skill categories.
With every issue of the
Toys“R”Us
Toy Guide for Differently-Abled Kids
we strive to help meet the needs
of special children, their parents,
caregivers and therapists. We
sincerely hope that we’ve again
succeeded in providing you with
a convenient way to find toys that
enrich the play experience for
your child.
Sincerely,
Jerry Storch
Chairman and CEO
Toys“R”Us, Inc.
