Educational Games for Toddlers

Children are open minded, they are very curious and wants to learn everything around them. They are like sponges that keeps on absorbing informations and knowledge on every activity that they do. Learning through play is one of the best ways for toddlers to learn. Playing using educational toys have the following benefits - increases creativity, develop cognitive, motor and problem solving skills, improves spatial development.

It is important to buy an age appropriate toys for your children. Educational Toys such as "the classics" are still the best toys, that includes - shape and alphabet sorters, puzzles and picture toys, manipulatives such as building blocks and stacking rings. For language development skill, the picture books that have life-like pictures and flash cards from DK Publishing and Teacher's Choice seemed to be very effective. Books, videos and music are very helpful and I personally like the Disney's Baby Einstein Brainy Baby and Little Einstein. You can use electronic educational toys as well but most experts says children learns best while interacting with real people than electronic toys.
