Toys that Start with W – 13 Fun & Educational Options

If you are looking for some fun, unique, and educational toys that start with W, I've got you covered.

I've been working my way through a series of letter-learning songs, toys, books, and activities for each letter of the alphabet, and today I'm focusing on letter W toys.

These toys are great for helping young children learn the sound the letter W makes and for letter W-themed school show-and-tells.

The focus for my toy lists has been listing options that are educational and/or help a child's development in some way – along with starting with a certain letter, of course.

The toys on this list are great for sound games and speech activities, as well as to pair with other letter-themed language arts activities.
