Educational Toys Planet

Educational toys are useful for more than just entertainment and play. Educational Toys Planet's selection of toys helps children learn new skills, develop their minds into lifelong learners, as well as encourage kids to explore what they might find interesting in life. Choosing the perfect toy for a child is never easy, especially when they are of different ages.

Toy manufacturers often market toys according to these three categories: "educational" which focuses on developing specific mental abilities; "interactive," where playtime results from interaction between people (e.g., board games); and finally there's something known as an "entertainment" toy that aims solely at providing amusement without any other educational benefits whatsoever! Educational Toys Planet is a store that puts the emphasis on educational and interactive toys, which are two categories of toy our customers want most.

How does playing with toys help to raise intelligent children?

Playing with toys has many benefits for children, including improving their coordination, social skills and language. Playing in a child's developmental years has stronger effects on the brain than almost any other activity. The finer motor control needed to manipulate the different parts of a toy (like putting together Legos or playing with a bead maze) improves dexterity, which is critical for writing skills to be effective and efficient.

Parents, it is important that we play together with our kids!

Dear parents! In our effort to make the most of every opportunity for children to gain knowledge and skills, let us play with our kids! We encourage parents to provide opportunities for their young child's cognitive development so that they become more successful with reading, writing, language use, math concepts and critical thinking skills. Playing is not only fun but is good for growing brains.

Some babies enjoy toys with bright colors and interesting textures while others prefer sounds and shapes to sort or stack.

Keep things simple for 1 year olds — they aren't ready to understand anything more than light, sound, and touch yet.

2 year old toddlers get really into toys that have sounds — they love to push buttons and hear feedback!

A three-year-old is one of the fastest learners on earth. They are ready to read, write and start to add up simple numbers!

For children between 4 and 5 years old, 3D puzzles are a great option.
