How do you choose learning toys?

Whether you homeschool your kids or simply want them to continue the learning process they experience during school at home, it’s important to select kids’ learning toys that help to expand their knowledge as they practice important skills. Just because these toys for kids are geared toward learning, it doesn’t mean that they can’t be fun, too. The more exciting and engaging school toys are, the more your child will want to practice and use them not just at school, but also at home. Choose the appropriate age group when you’re looking for the best learning toys. Pick out toddler learning toys for the younger set, and baby learning toys for your itty-bitty one who’s just starting out in the world. With practice, kids will learn the basics, including colors, numbers, and letters. As your child progresses in age and goes up another grade, there are also a lot of excellent learning toys for older kids, too. Explore shops on Etsy to discover a wide assortment of unique toys specially designed to encourage kids to adopt strong learning habits.

5 out of 5 stars

"All items exceeded my expectations. My daycare families love using the take home learning enrichment containers. The individual plastic containers help to keep everything nicely organized so when I send them home with one of the families all the items are returned with nothing missing. This has helped my daycare program extend its daily learning concepts into the home with each child so their parent(s) can become further invested in their learning outcomes. A must have!!! Sherri"
