Educational Toys for Kids
Learning is part and parcel of childhood. Lots of toys are learning toys. But sometimes you want something that teaches a specific academic or life skill. Learning toys and tools are carefully selected from the thousands available to bring you a selection that really works. These toys are appropriate for homeschoolers, classroom use, or just supplemental aids at home. Most of them are so much fun the kids won’t even know they’re being “taught”.
A baby’s mind is like a sponge, and he learns from day one. Why don’t you help your newborn learn and grow with educational baby toys? Reading, writing and arithmetic aren’t the only learning tools your child needs. From an early age kids can learn reasoning skills and other developmental tools they will need later in life. Preschool educational toys can help them along the way.
For school-aged children reading is a basic objective. For Alphabet and Reading toys, try the magnetic letters to see how many letters your child can identify and how many words he or she can make up. Your refrigerator will become a backdrop for learning. An ABC floor puzzle will help your child learn their alphabet. ABC sponges are thick, sponge letters of the alphabet for educational painting fun and are great for painting pictures, projects, wrapping paper, and more. Teach your child colors and shapes with pattern blocks. Pattern blocks teach children relationships and help with set recognition, both important pre-reading and pre-mathematics skills. Even young children can do this, and have fun making pretty pictures, too. Make colorful pictures and master basic colors and shapes as you also experience the satisfying feeling of smoothly painted, bright colored wooden blocks. You can teach your child geography with an assortment of map and card games, talking globes, and puzzles. Help your child learn state, continent, and country locations and facts with these hands-on toys. Art supplies, books, dinosaurs, dolls, cooking toys, and doctor kits are also fun and educational toys! Practically every toy has some educational content within that your child will benefit from while having fun.
Teach your child Spanish with bilingual shape and counting puzzles. Beneath each wooden puzzle piece is a photo of a child’s hands with the proper number of fingers raised for that particular number. When a puzzle piece is raised up and placed back in it’s proper spot, kids hear the number spoken out in both languages. Your kid will be the first in her class to have a bilingual talking puzzle that teaches shapes! Lift each piece up and place it back down to hear that shape’s name in English and Spanish! The words for each color are spelled out on the pieces, while the words for the shapes are printed on the base. Start early teaching your kids about money, the value of a dollar, and saving with cash registers and pretend ATMs. Practice math with educational flash cards, videos, and multiplication/division, addition/subtraction games. Toys for teaching responsibility, manual dexterity and how to solve problems are great. Tactile games, lacing cards, and responsibility chore charts will provide hours of enjoyment. Telling time can also be taught with toys. Musical clocks and clocks with removable hands will enforce the concepts of telling time with simple methods.
Whether your child needs help with letters or numbers, educational learning toys can help. Teaching a child is much easier if they are having fun while they learn. Games and toys that teach foster a love of learning that will stay with your child for years to come. You can send your child straight to the head of the class with children’s educational toys.
