Educational Toys – Toys for Learning by Mark K
If you are a parent you will naturally want your child to have a good start at developing their brains. We can all relate to this. We try our utmost to educate our children and pass on the same values that we where taught and remember into adulthood. The first five years of a child’s life are especially important. It is in these first five years that our brain takes in new ideas much faster than at any other time in our lives. What is experienced at a young age will be remembered for the rest of our lives.
This is why it is so important as parents to promote our children’s early stages of development in every way possible. One of the ways we can do this is by showing them how to play and learn simultaneously. It is no secret that anything that is fun is also more memorable and if we give our little tots toys that are fun to play with, but also help to develop their little brains then we are on to a winning formula.
There are many toys available that provide education through entertainment. Some on numerical learning, letters and words while others pay more attention to spacial reasoning. There are also toys which use music and studies have ascertained a link between music and mathematical ability, especially if your child is being taught a musical instrument. Studies have also shown that the amount of simultaneous parts of the brain utilised while playing a musical instrument is much higher than during most other activities. These areas working together simultaneously are thought to improve intelligence in general.
There is little doubt that education toys are a must have to help our children’s developmental needs and provide the building blocks that will last a lifetime.
A fantastic example of toys that fuel a child’s imagination is lego:-
