Imagine if your child was in school sitting in math class and the teacher just wrote a bunch of numbers on the board and then left it up to the students to figure out what to do with those numbers. That wouldn’t be very helpful, would it? But, that’s essentially what happens when a parent buys an educational toy for their child and then just gives the child the toy and leaves them with it. Children don’t learn by osmosis, they need to be guided and sometimes even shown how...

Certain toys lend themselves well to creative and inspiring play, so we have composed a list of 10 types of educational toy that are sure to benefit...

Play is the most natural way in which children come to understand the world, and to develop the motor and cognitive skills needed to function within it. Most learning takes place in the realm where imagination and fun, meets physical interaction with objects.Many of us will be able to relate to how our early experiences with childhood toys and games, came to shape how we think, and...
