Educational toys can be anything from puppets and dolls houses, costumes and other make believe play items, toy pianos and other instruments; children’s gadgets, construction sets with more intricate parts to play with, and of course art and craft sets to express all that budding creative ability!As children reach school age they begin to lose interest in basic creative play such as dressing up and make believe, and they start to prefer games and school aged toys that come with a set of rules which they must master and follow. Now’s the time to introduce them to children's toys, card and board games which they can play alone or in a group.
Some good school age toys and games to try are board and ball games, active games such as chasing and racing games, skipping, or hop-scotch. Playing this type of game helps children to learn how to work with their friends in teams, develops logic and encourages creativity.
