Educational toys aids in the development of a child's brain. It also helps facilitate in the motor development of the child, not to mention, aids in the fulfillment of his developmental task parallel his or her age. Studies reveal that a child's IQ can be increased by more than 50 points through the proper stimulation in the first 6 years of life. The child already has certain natural skills, but you can help further develop these skills through the power of play with the right developmental toys and educational games. They help improve the child's skills such as memory retention, reading skills, motor skills, eye-hand coordination and math skills.
There are a variety of educational toys that are available for children as soon as they are able to grab or hold onto things. An educational toy can be something as simple as a puppet or matching shapes. Or building blocks for toddlers. These toys prompt the child to think and the colorful pieces that come with these toys make the activity interesting. At an early age, you can actually determine whether the child is a visual learner or not. Knowing the type of learner the child is is also very important. And when the parent is involved and takes time to praise the child when he or she is successful, the child will be happier and more relaxed with learning. Choosing a toy that is appropriate for your child's age is crucial. By determining the child's current developmental needs, both physically and emotionally, then, we can look for the educational toys that are appropriate for the child's stage of development. Like, an infant that is just beginning to learn to focus and grasp things with the hands would benefit from a toy that develops hand-eye coordination. Toddlers, on the other hand, would require toys that focus on stacking and pulling, pre-dressing, and language basics.
I am glad Zarelle and River are doing okay in school... Perhaps, the toys we chose for them were good...
