Keeping Things Fun With Education

January 20, 2015

Whoever said that education couldn’t be fun may want to take a look at some of the latest educational toys and games on the market! From construction games that encourage imagination and experimentation, all the way to child-friendly and water-based canvas boards that promote art and creativity; there’s so much educational fun to be had for kids of all ages. With so many products on the market, it’s always a good idea to get to know some of the greatest educational toys available before deciding on the ones that are right for your children. Let’s get to know some of the most popular toys and what they can do for your child.

Lego Building Blocks

Whether your child prefers to collect entire sets based around a particular theme, such as Star Wars, Chima or City, or if they’d rather their own sets that simply top up their collection; there’s nothing quite like building their play system from the ground up. Studies have shown that children that play with Lego are far more likely to pursue creative careers when they grow up and extensive research has even proven that a child’s concentration levels will improve as they design and create their own constructions as they play.

For a parent, it’s a great benefit to see your child’s learning improve while they are having fun. As there are simply limitless opportunities when it comes to playing with Lego blocks and accessories, you’ll soon find that your child develops the ability to tackle problems and challenges with much more enthusiasm as they grow. You’ll find a great range of Lego products on their online store as well as in leading brands like Toys “R” Us.

Tommy Aqua Draw

Tomy Aqua Draw

There’s nothing quite as creative as artwork and writing and that’s something that you’ll find is more than covered with the Tomy Aqua Draw. There’s a range of models such as the portable or floor-space models, but they all serve a similar purpose; to provide your child with a canvas to propel their creativity (and save them from drawing on the walls in the process!).

The Aqua Draw does exactly what it says on the tin; it draws using water as a form of ink. It’s easy to fill the soft-nibbed pen and just a few millilitres of water can provide hours of fun. The canvas itself dries in anywhere between a few minutes and half of an hour and the result is that your child has an interactive board in which to write and draw on while they learn and play.

The Melissa and Doug Range of Toys

If you’re looking for an educational toy that has no comparison, then something from the great range of Melissa and Doug educational toys will do the trick. One of the biggest benefits of this brand is that they group their toys by age, so whether you’re looking for simple building blocks for toddlers and infants, or if you’d prefer in-depth chalk boards, responsibility charts and more for children aged 8 and over, you’ll be guaranteed to find something to suit your child.

One of the biggest benefits of shopping with the Melissa and Doug range is that all of their products have been scientifically tested to guarantee interest, improve education and to enhance understanding. It’s these key features that can make all of the difference to your child’s education, and considering the toys themselves are greatly affordable, there’s really no reason why your child can’t enjoy a solid education whilst having fun.
