Learning and Educational Toys for Kids
From wooden blocks and activity triangles to kids' puzzles and DIY toys, there are so many fantastic ways to help your toddler or preschooler learn through play.
Educational toys for children do not have to mean STEM toys or complex gadgets. We are shumee believe quite the opposite, actually. We make open-ended, simple toys that your child can engage with mindfully. When a child can drive their own play with toys such as alphabet blocks or story cubes, they learn so much more from it!
Free playing with open-ended toys is a great way for your little one to develop their cognitive, motor, and social skills. For example, playing with colourful blocks can help them learn to count, enhance their imagination, and develop their fine motor skills. Playing with puzzles will not only hone their logic and spatial awareness, but will develop their pincer grip too.
DIY 3D activity boxes for kids are also a fantastic way to hone your child's hand-eye coordination, bilateral coordination, and creative thinking. Another excellent way to keep their imagination alight is through kids' colouring books featuring their favourite farm and forest animals.
Educational and learning toys are all about making room for play where your child can actively engage their developing skills. Don't forget, even Einstein used to play with open-ended toys such as blocks and puzzles!
