Toys that educate? Yes, please!
Instead of stocking up on workbooks for the kiddo who can barely hold a pencil, fun educational toys are the best way to prep your child for pre-school. At this stage of their lives, exploring colors and listening to sounds make more sense. Having fun encourages them to think and develop skills, be it physically or intellectually. If you want your little one to win even before the starting line, you’ll need to invest in learning toys and games for them. Look at it this way, it’ll be one homework they’ll look forward to completing.
Learn Your ABCs
The last thing any parent wants is to hand over a tablet to their kid. But the good news is, this one gets your child addicted (in a good way). Fisher Price’s rendition teaches songs, letters, animals, and phrases. Depending on the age of your child, you can change the subject’s difficulty via its Smart Stages Technology. A few months on this and your child is set to become a top scorer in K-1.
Bring Stories To Life
When a child only knows a handful of words, reading can become a tedious task. Well, colorful storybooks help, only if the little one could sit still. What if you can grab their attention by bringing their favorite tales to life? Moonlite’s Fairytale Gift Pack, an easy clip-on projector, allows you to do just that. Play it along with the app to display the story text and charming sound effects.
What’s The Problem?
We’ve been learning problem-solving all our lives but how do you teach that to your kid? Truth is, it’s not knowledge that can be passed straight down. It takes experience. Though, that’s no excuse to not start young. While they may not be able to go through life-changing events, this sort-and-drop colorful block play set helps your child to get a head start. It comes in a box too for easy on the go!
Pet Project
We’ve all been there. Thinking perhaps a pet could teach our kid some responsibilities when in the end, it’s us that got the extra work. For parents who haven’t gone there yet, ditch that thought and opt for Vtech’s Shake & Move Puppy instead. It stays alive without food, sings, and teaches shapes, colors, alphabets, and numbers. In our opinion, this looks more promising than the initial idea.
Smarter With Watches
Some kids go way ahead of their time. Before they even start school, they’re already begging their parents for a smartwatch. As we all know, the real thing is pricy, and a young child won’t be able to use much of the functions anyway. If you’re looking for a replacement, Fisher Price has one that is a great deal. Every switch and toggle either lights up or plays songs. Most importantly, these don’t break.
Brain Game
All kids love a good game. And Chicco’s 2 in 1 Sort And Beat Cube lets your child develop cognitive skills while they play. Coming in two games — one: an interlocking activity of geometric shapes and the other: beating colored balls with a hammer. Don’t assume these to be no-brainer activities, they train the kid’s eye-hand coordination and logical abilities. Colorful and educational, we’re sold.
