Educate, this word is fundamental since early childhood, and educational toys should be part of the child’s life. Introducing new colors, shapes and textures from an early age to our babies, and letting them be stimulated helps a lot to develop properly. How can the family help to stimulate these new sensations in a world that is absolutely new for the little ones? Educational toys appropriate for the age of the baby or child!
There are stores that cater to a specific audience that seeks educational toys and among these there are all materials, types for all ages. Have you ever entered a store like this? It’s crazy inside! I love going with the kids and seeing their eyes sparkling with all those options and even more the opportunity to be able to present them the toys I had the opportunity to have as a child. Spinning top, iron and ironing board, assembling games, dolls’ houses, building blocks and many others. Who hasn’t played with the “little engineer”?
Educational toys for babies are those that can stimulate the sensory, touch, eyes and perception . Games with large fitting pieces, very colorful and with different shapes leave the baby entertained for hours in order to unravel the mystery of the fitting or even a way to take the cube out of the container. At 3, 4 months there is a possibility to stimulate the baby, there are rugs where you can lay the baby down and then start introducing them little by little. Do you know those toys that fit the shapes that are so common in any store and we often do not give much importance? because these are the best! They are enigmatic for those who are just starting to learn, and dealing with it is not so easy and becomes fascinating for the little ones. Another successful toy is these cloth cubes that havevarious noises, sensations such as plastic, cloth and bells. Cloth books too, since they are extremely colorful.
What is worth seeing when choosing an educational toy? I believe that it is the most appropriate for your child’s profile and of course as mentioned age too, it is useless to give the most complex of toys to a 2 year old child that he will not have the patience to deal with and then he loses his grace, the it is best to choose according to the indication. Assembling and fitting toys are the main ones to take this care when buying. It is also worth talking about toys that stimulate motor and visual coordination. Melissa is in the phase of playing house and dolls, but she loves this toy that a friend gave her, he turns on the lights and when placing the ball on top, she slides down to the bottom where she has some options for exit. This game holds her attention. Eduardo is already in the letter phase, as he is still being literate, he uses the letters to form words and so he managed to develop more quickly, that was the tip of the school teacher who is very valid, because he helped a lot, a lot. He is 7 years old and reads well for his age and writes words easily.
There is no way to talk about educational toys and not to mention puppets, these are classics! So nice to see how far the child’s imagination can go with the stories illustrated by such a simple thing! For those who don’t have any such experience? And how to make a puppet at home? super easy, just a few materials are enough to make the kids happy, look:
- 1 sock
- 2 medium black buttons and 1 smaller one
- Needle and thread
- 1 piece of red felt
- Wool yarn
With these materials you can make a puppet, just sew the buttons on the sock in order to form 2 eyes and 1 nose, and with the felt to make the little mouth. Use the wool to make your hair and sew everything very well! Remember that your child’s safety is the most important. Is there anything better than a make-believe afternoon? Try to make costumes or clothes available for children, they love it!
Anyway, regardless of how much you can spend or the taste your child has, it is very important to stimulate. There is no need to spend a lot of money to help the imagination, intelligence and make the child’s day more enjoyable and colorful!

My name is Dr. Alexis Hart I am 38 years old, I am the mother of 3 beautiful children! Different ages, different phases 16 years, 12 years and 7 years. In love with motherhood since always, I found it difficult to make my dreams come true, and also some more after I was already a mother.
Since I imagined myself as a mother, in my thoughts everything seemed to be much easier and simpler than it really was, I expected to get pregnant as soon as I wished, but it wasn’t that simple. The first pregnancy was smooth, but my daughter’s birth was very troubled. Joana was born in 2002 with a weight of 2930kg and 45cm, from a very peaceful cesarean delivery but she had already been born with congenital pneumonia due to a broken bag not treated with antibiotics even before delivery.
