Early Learning & Educational
What are the best educational toys?
By the time you're 5-6 years old, a great part of your learning has already taken place. Imagine learning that your fingers belong to you, or learning how one thing can hide behind another? Do we remember first realising that everything seems to fall towards the ground, or even how a round peg just won't go inside a square hole.
The best educational toys require a little input, effort and initiative from the child. They challenge a child in one or a few simple topics at a time. Clearly, we're not big on toys that act as 'electronic baby sitters' ... because that undermines the opportunity for our parents and family. The toys in this range can be played alone, or can involve you too.
Early learning also includes how we interact with our own feelings, and those of others, which become the basis of 'self' and relationships. No single toy achieves any of this, but choosing which educational toys you buy online in Australia can provide a healthy context for this leaning.
