Educational Toys for Toddlers
May 20, 2009
Toddlers are extremely imaginative, creative and full of energy. They need to be active every waking moment and they are quick learners. Play for them is exciting because it is how they learn.
So the best things to buy for them are educational toys. The market is full of toys that make children exercise their brains and bodies. They make learning a fun experience. Children learn their alphabets, numbers, the names of animals and flowers, and colors while playing.
The most popular educational toys for the little ones include the following:
Shape and Color Sorting Toys
These games keep them mentally and physically occupied for a very long time. They learn how to count, sort and stack. Ring counters teach them how to count; there are also alphabet sorters that sort by shape. Purchase stackers that are available in vibrant colors and attractive geometrical shapes.
Wooden Puzzles
These are classic toys and will never be unpopular. There are a number of puzzles available, including geometric puzzles in different shapes, and jigsaw puzzles of trees, houses or flowers. There are even 3-D dinner puzzle boards that teach your child proper table manners.
Building Blocks
Building blocks are another classic toy. Like sorters, they teach organizational skills and differentiation on the basis of shape and color.
Musical Tables
Children have a great affinity to music. Musical tables that play music, light up and show some movement fascinate kids. These toys are intended for children between 6 months and 3 years of age. They play a number of songs; one of the most popular songs played is the alphabet song. The numbers song is also popular and other songs teach colors and sounds.
Toy Drum
This is very popular with toddlers, but not popular among the parents who have to endure the noise. One of the newer versions of the toy drum recites the alphabet or numbers when the child bangs on it. Children love the beat and they love to cart it around since it does not weigh much.
Toy Puppy
This combines the cuddliness of stuffed toys with some educational value. Most come with built in sounds like laughter or have tapes reciting the alphabet song or parts of the body. Some little children truly love their toy puppies and bond with them.
