Why Are Educational Activity Toys Important For Your Kids?

by Sean Lonergan September 13, 2021

Playing is considered to be the most effective way for children to begin learning. From a very young age, children like exploring and learning new things. Not many parents are aware that encouraging your child to play with educational activity toys can help them develop their cognition and motor skills.

Children are natural observers and fast learners. It’s on you as the parent, to help them and mould their learning potential in order to form a brighter future.

You don't have to be concerned about any stress that these toys may put on your children. They’re so well-designed that your children won't even realise they're learning since they're having so much fun. Educational toys are designed to encourage learning through play.

Musical instruments, puzzles, DIY toys, and blocks are examples of great educational toys that encourage creativity and problem-solving skills in children.

BENEFITS OF EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY TOYS

INCREASE IQ AND PROMOTE PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS

Educational toys can also help boost IQ levels in children as they challenge their minds. For example, when a child stacks the blocks but misses to balance them, he sees them falling into pieces.

DEVELOP SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

With educational toys, kids take on role-playing, understand emotions and develop empathy. These toys will put your child through various social situations that involve sharing, leading, bonding caring, waiting, etc. Playing also develops their emotional intelligence as they respond to emotions such as anger, laughter or sadness.

BETTER AND IMPROVED CONCENTRATION

Through playing, you help your child focus on a task for a larger span of time. Early introduction of toys will help your child to improve concentration. This simple tactic will, later on, be fruitful during his academic years.

INSTILL CREATIVITY AND IMAGINATION

Educational toys not only foster learning and growth but also give your kids the ability to think creatively. These toys incorporate games that instil creative imagination in your child. You will see your kids using their creative skills and make something beautiful out of it.

Look at this beautiful Limmys kids swimming vest. We got the next size up for when we hit the pool or a beach (next year) 🙌😅 The quality is super amazing and the feel is wonderful. I love the fact that it has a secure belt underneath to stop the vest riding up when in the water and also that is has removable floats for when he becomes more water able. Oh and it comes with its very own drawstring bag too 🙌. Absoloutley love it the quality is superior and will give him so much more water confidence.

When you can’t go outside, bring the outdoors inside! 🌱🌿🌷🌹 Well with our new @limmyskids Build your dream garden set you certainly can. 🌸🌺🌼🌻🌹🌷. I can honestly say I was super impressed with this. Leonie was able to make some serious flower master pieces. It’s made up of 105 pieces of stems, flowers and a base. Leonie loved it and Mummy enjoyed playing too.
If your kids are Duplo fans too this can actually join up to toy bricks. So dual purpose.

Normally Noam love to pick one flower for me, now he is building me a whole garden 🌸. On the IGTV the unboxing you could see how happy Noam was with the toy. I personally really like it and Noam is too. But really, who doesn’t love flowers? And with this you can build your own dream garden full with flowers! You can make every flower a different one with all the colorful parts! And there are a many colorful parts and also a lot of beautiful colors. The toy is strong and also compatible with Duplo so you can even build more and more.

The adventures of my little mechanic continue - thanks to these magnetic blocks by @limmyskids where he was always just fixing cars before he is now building them too and loving every minute of it.⁣ Growing up I too used to love those magnetic toys with little sticks till they got banned but I wasnt very creative and couldnt make anything 😂. What cool magnetic block inventions have your little ones come up with?⁣

We made the most of the weather today seeing as we are due rain tomorrow. Snow tried on her new swim vest by @limmyskids today. These vests are honestly amazing, the quality is so good and the safety strap between the legs prevents the vest from riding up when in water and keeps your child in the safest position. These are available from ages 1 right up to 9years old. We got ours over on amazon, where you can find and purchase them yourselfs. These would be perfect over summer for use in paddling/swimming pools, for that added peace of mind your child is safe. And for when this lockdown is over a perfect addition to take with you to the swimming baths and on holiday. 😎🌞

lliot has been loving these magnetic building blocks from @limmyskids 🧡 They keep him so busy and entertained! They’re such a fun way to get his creativity and imagination going. He loves building a big tower and crashing it with his monster trucks! He also loves all the other fun things we’ve made; a rocket, cars, a little playground, and a turtle, all thanks to the free booklet it came with that’s full of ideas. You guys, the possibilities are honestly endless with these blocks so be sure to check them out!

Aurora and Athena are loving these magnetic building blocks! Other than just building I can see teaching colors, shapes, counting and so much more. Limmys follows the STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) model. It comes with an idea booklet on things to build and they have even more ideas on their website! I don’t know about you but love a good multipurpose toy!

Hazel’s been playing with these magnetic building blocks from @limmyskids for the past two days since we got them. Her favorite thing is building something and then crushing it 💪🏻. She currently has them in an old lunchbox of mine I gave her in her room (so Dominic doesn’t get them 😂)

Perfect for little ones! I brought this life vest/ swim vest for my son who is 17 months old. He absolutely loves water but can’t swim so we wanted something to help him like arm bands or a ring. Whilst look I actually found this and straight away fell in love with it! It’s super easy to use, just put it on, zip it up and adjust the straps, it’s not heavy at all and feels like amazing quality! We recently went to the beach and my son loved it. He didn’t fuss at all and didn’t seem bothered by it at all which is a bonus! It’s perfect for little ones and gives you extra piece of mind when they go into the water or swimming! Definitely recommend trying this out!!

Imagination! I thought they’d be great for ems! But turns out Rufus loves them to!! We’ve made all sorts off different things from houses to hot air balloons we can’t wait to get some more so we can make bigger and better things!
These are perfect for toddlers and easy to build with, Nellie is very independent and loved stacking these together and making different objects. Nellie loves anything that moves so was very happy with making the car. They are the perfect toy to keep them entertained for hours. We also used this as a little bit of a learning game with colours. These are brilliant value for money and can be found on Amazon. These amazing two sets also come with a travel bag for all the pieces so you can take this toy on the go with you, perfect to keep little ones busy when out and about. Would definitely recommend to anyone who has a little one that loves building.
