Educational Wooden Toys

Child’s play should be fun and educational. There are different types of toys suited for your child’s age. Use age recommendations as a guide or something to challenge your child appropriately. It should be not too hard or too easy. Development milestones can help you discern your child’s learning stage. Hera are some guidelines to get you started. Many of these can actually be useful at various stages, and in different ways.

Birth to 9 Months

• Give your baby toys that engage sense such as mobiles, rocking toys, chew toys, chunky boards and cloth books.
• Use toys that stimulate cause and effect like pop-up toys and busy boxes

9 to 18 Months

• Give role play toys that imitate real life like tool set, cook and kitchen toy set, animal farms etc
• Toys that demonstrate how things that fit together like puzzles, blocks, and shape sorters
• Toys that encourage motor skills such as pull and push toys, and balls

18 to 36 Months

• Toys that encourage the child to create like modeling clay, crayons, and finger paints
• Toys that improve the use of imagination such as dress-up clothes, action and animals figures, dolls and doll houses, stuffed animals

It is the great desire of every parent to provide the best opportunities for their children. The idea of providing your child with educational toys is typically borne with noblest aspiration. Just remember that it is the parent’s job to judge wisely about how an object can best stimulate his child’s learning and development. Remember that ultimately, it is not the toy itself that makes your child smarter. It is how you encourage him to use his mind and body to solve the problems and develop his own ideas.
