Starting the day we are born our brain is teaching us to learn. We learn to eat, Coo, stick out our tongue, recognize people, walking, and learning just keeps going on all through our lives. It is never too young to teach our children new things from here on.
Learning needs to be fun and challenging for our children. Buying them educational toys is the key to teaching them new things everyday and keeping up with the world. Teaching basic things like feeding themselves is just the beginning of the journey ahead.
Educational toys can be bought anywhere that toys are sold. Simple things like coloring books are educational by teaching coordination and colors, a bike can be educational for teaching coordination and balance and we all need to learn to read, spell, and write just to function in today’s day and age.
Puzzles come in all sizes, shapes, colors, and books too. Word puzzles are educational because they teach our children to write, spell, read, and gives them one more challenge and skill to go ahead.
Colorful puzzle balls are fun for the baby in the home. They are fascinated with all the bright colors and trying to fit the right shape into the right spot to fall inside. This ball teaches your baby to learn colors, shapes, and coronation by finding the one to fit into the correct spot so they can hear it fall into place.
Puzzles made of foam pieces for your little one gives them the texture feelings to touch, a chance to learn new shapes and where the spot is to match it. The new thing with this puzzle is the feel of the foam makes them want to learn more. Puzzles can be made of most anything that is child safe like wood, or plastic. Besides learning shapes and colors to add to their coordination they can learn their ABC’s, numbers, and matching the A to a picture of an apple or number 1 to 1 apple.
Puzzles can help your child to learn to read and spell by using the pieces to spell out their name. The child can learn to add 1 + 2 = 3 with the numbers to teach them basic math skills.
Picture puzzles teach your child how to match the colors and shapes together to make a picture. All the time they are learning coordination, colors, matching, and one shape to another.
When it is time to teach them to use a pencil they can learn to draw with puzzle pieces. Learning to trace the pieces with a pencil and paper will teach them how to write the number or letters and recognize them when they are done.
Making puzzles are fun for you and your children and will give you both one on one time together. Take a piece of felt and draw words on them. Let your child pick out color of foam and cut out the alphabet in it. Let your child fill in the words with the right puzzle piece to make the word on the felt or to matching a picture with the word. It is easy to make; the materials can be found anywhere that craft supplies is sold. By making, their own puzzle will also help in coordination and creativity skills.
Books are everywhere to teach your child to use a pencil, match words, connecting the dots, numbers or alphabet. All learning skills that a 3 years old needs to learn at an early age is available to them in educational toys.
Search wordbooks are available in stores for the older ones to do. The cost of these books is cheap and the skills they will learn are in the high bracket. Picking a word and finding it in a bunch of scrambled letters.
