Learning Through Play: The Best Educational Toys for Children | Forever Sure Deals

Do you know how amazing a child's brain is? In the first few years after birth, a baby's brain is growing at an incredible rate. New neural connections are made at a rate of 1 million per second! 

That's kind of hard to wrap your mind around.

If children receive more stimulation during this critical time, they do better cognitively and socio-emotionally. Picking out the right educational toys for children is a great way to help stimulate that growth.

Check out our top picks below!

Musical Instruments

Music can help babies and young children develop both physically and mentally. It helps with language attainment, emotional intelligence, memory, creativity, spatial intelligence, and more. 

Buying your child a musical instrument toy is a great way to expose them to music early on. A plastic keyboard is a great choice. You can set the mode so that the toy sings fun songs that your child will love. 

Do you want to let your child try their hand at making their own music? You can also set it so that the keys make noise when they are pressed like a real piano. Your child can practice making sounds and maybe eventually copy the songs they hear.

Model Building Kits

Hand-eye coordination is very important for both physical and mental development. However, children don't develop it overnight.

Hand-eye coordination develops as children interact with the world around them. Thus, the more opportunities they have to practice, the faster they will learn.

Model building kits are a great way to stimulate this growth. Children can entertain themselves for hours trying to put the shaped blocks into the correct corresponding hole. 

Puzzles

Putting together jigsaw puzzles has an impact on spatial skills as a child grows. As you may guess, children who spend time working on puzzles, especially with their parents, develop spatial skills faster. 

This study looks at how children do on a spatial transformation task at 4 years 6 months old. Not surprisingly, those who spent more time on puzzles between the ages of 2 and 4 did better on the task.

A wooden puzzle toy is a great way to get started. The sturdy construction will ensure that the puzzle lasts longer than 5 minutes in your toddler's eager hands. Plus, the fun, colorful scenes offer a chance to talk about objects and colors once the puzzle has been completed. Yay for language development!

Best Educational Toys for Children

In reality, the best educational toys for children are the ones they use. Research and pick out the best ones that experts recommend, but find out what your child likes. They'll spend more time with a toy they enjoy playing with. 

But what if your child doesn't show much interest in the educational toys you choose? There's a trick to developing that desire. Get down on the floor and play with them! Guaranteed, your child will love learning from you and spending time with you.
