The Friends of the Bluffton Public Library recently purchased two new toddler toys for the library's Reading and Discovery Area.

One of the toys, a Deluxe Mini Playcube, includes a roller coaster, pathfinder maze, abacus, rotating number and alphabet blocks and interlocking Wonder Gears.

The cube provides the first building blocks for creative, intellectual development as it stimulates basic learning skills such as visual tracking, eye-hand coordination, letter, shape and color recognition.
