Science, STEM, Coding & Nature

It's during the early years that play is essential as young minds grasp things more quickly and easily. When you bring your baby to the park or stroll with your child through the streets you will be pointing to different vehicles, maybe a bird flying by or an animal passing by and naming them for your child. Even though your child might be too young, there is a good chance he or she might be grasping and slowly understanding whatever is being told. Hence, it is never too early to start introducing your children to learning experiences and it is best to start with educational toys that make learning both exciting and fun.

With the ability to make boring educational subjects fascinating through DIY activities and easy to understand play models, STEM toys are becoming increasingly popular with both parents and kids. STEM is an acronym which stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. Stem toys are designed uniquely to spark interest in learning in kids and have a remarkable impact on their overall well being. In this category, you will find many learning toys for different age groups that promote the development of mental and physical skills. Some of these are on sale at less than half their price so grab them before they are sold out!

While choosing educational games and toys, it is necessary to keep in mind the age of the child along with his or her interests. Writing and colouring books will make no sense for a toddler. And memorizing shapes and colours will no longer be interesting to five-year-olds. Also, if the child is below the given age limit of the toy, it can prove harmful as it may have small pieces of plastic or other material that can hurt or choke the child. So don’t forget to also read the minimum age mentioned on the toys to buy the appropriate ones for your kids.

Does your child like building things and is a budding engineer?
