Are you looking for a children’s gift that is unique, fun, but also educational? Whether you are shopping for a birthday present, Christmas present or just a special gift for a young child in your life, you can find dozens of ideas online. Many parents and caregivers value the importance of play that incorporates learning opportunities. Kids learn a wide range of skills from developmental toys and games while also having fun.
If you are stuck for ideas, check out the following toys and games that are sure to inspire creatively and learning.
Puzzles – Puzzles are a great way to help children gain more knowledge of their surroundings and better hand eye coordination. Jigsaw puzzles are a great indoor activity for kids to do. You can buy simple puzzles with big, colourful pieces for toddlers to more advanced puzzles for school kids that have a range of pieces to join together.
Counting Games – Counting on ones fingers is the most natural thing to do. All young children start to count on their fingers and our fingers are there to help! One popular counting game you may not have heard of is wooden counting hands. You can find these online at reputable online kid’s stores that sell wooden toys. This game is great for developing an understanding of number concepts.
Wooden Skis – This is great gift if you are buying for two children to share. Wooden Skis are a lot of fun for two kids. If you buy a pair with rubber blocks underneath, they can then be used outdoors as well as inside. This fun and unique activity provides enjoyable exercise, while also encouraging movement and co-ordination.
Balance Scales and Weights – This is a creative way of teaching children about the relationship between weight and balance. Many balance scales and weights games come with a range of toy weights to experiment with, but if not, it will be easy enough to find weights from around the home to use.
Learn How To Tell The Time – A creative way of learning to tell the time involves games where kids can move the hands of the clock around the clock face to match the numbers of the time. Look for a clock that has the words ‘quarter past’, ‘half past’ and ‘quarter to’ written on its face; this is a helpful reminder for young children when pronouncing the time.
As you can see there are dozens of unique, fun and creative educational kids’ games available. Kids toys made from renewable resource timbers and non-toxic paints are proving to be quite popular with parents and caregivers. You can easily find toys made from natural materials online.
