Toys, Toys, Toys-Which Ones Are Right for Your Child?With so many educational toys on the market, it can be difficult to know which toys are suitable for your child, especially when choosing toys for young children. I think we have all purchased toys that ended up in the bottom of the toy box never to be played with again. And the toy that our little one just had to have , well it's lying right next to it! We all want to find quality educational toys that build developmental skills and enhance our child's learning experience. The right educational toy can create a love of learning that will last a lifetime! A quality educational toy will allow your child to make a new discovery each time they play with the toy. They will also discover many other ways to play with the toy and be proud to show you their latest discovery. Being excited and interested in the excitement your child shows while playing with their favorite toy will also increase their desire to continue to play and discover many new things. Fun, Safe, DurableWhen choosing educational toys for your children or grandchildren, there are several features that you should look for in that toy. First, and foremost, the toy should be fun for the child to play with. I also make sure that I check out who the maker of the toy is. You want your child to play with safe toys and some companies focus on this aspect more than others in the toy industry. The toy should also be safe and appropriate for the child's age. We pride ourselves on offering age-appropriate, nonviolent toys. Next, the toy should be durable. Who wants to spend money on a toy that breaks after their child plays with the toys just a couple of times? Not only do we offer an unconditional satisfaction guarantee on all of our toys, we also offer replacement parts for their toys. How many times have you lost a piece to a toy and weren't able to use the toy anymore? If you lose a piece to your product, you can give me a call and I will get the replacement part right to you! How long will the fun lastWhen purchasing educational toys, you should also ask yourself if the toy can be played with in many ways. Will the child find many uses for the toy? You should consider if the child can play with one toy in several different ways. This helps children develop their creativity and expand their ideas. The toy will also grow with the child as the child develops new skills and you will often find that the child will find different ways to play with the toy. I am always amazed at the great games my children come up with to play with these products! And, I feel strongly that a child should be able to play with the toy with their parents or play with the toy independently. That is why choosing a toy that is age appropriate for the child is so critical.  An educational toy should also grow with the child, allowing them to play with the toy as their developmental needs change. At a younger age, a child may enjoy the visual and tactile stimulation a nubby ball offers. But as they grow, the child will begin to roll and catch the ball, delighting in their new game! Educational toys should also engage the child's interest and natural curiosity. You should be able to "see the wheels turning" in your child's mind as they play with the toy! The toy should be challenging, but not so complex that it frustrates the child.
