Following my post in March, I have complied a list of educational toys that I use in my kindergarten everyday that I know promote kids learning and development. You probably already have some of these in your home which is great, you are on the right track!
The educational toys listed are certainly favourites within my educational program. The children love them! They are toys that promote imagination, creativity, problem solving, thinking and a range of developmental skills. What is great about them is that they can be used together to extend your child’s play opportunities.
Here are the best Educational toys for kids...
Role Play/Imaginative PlayToys: Wooden food, doctors set, dress ups, kitchen and cooking toys, dolls house, pirate ship, castle, figurines, dolls, plastic/wooden animals, dinosaurs, tools, tea-set, cash register, etc.
