Searching for a Special Toy for 3 Year Olds?

Are you looking for that special toys for 3 year old boys? Perhaps it’s for his birthday or Christmas or just because. For open ended imaginative and creative play I always like to recommend construction sets for preschoolers. And for something really special why not consider the Create O Flakes Building toy? Here are 7 reasons why I particularly recommend this toy:
Color Matching Cups Toys for Kids
1.     The variety of plastic snow shape flakes encourages kids to build something unique. There are no instructions and the shapes are so very different from other types of construction sets for preschoolers. They challenge kids to think in different ways.
2.     The set can also be used in craft projects; kids can have fun creating necklaces, chains or mobiles.
3.     The flakes are super for early math skills such as counting, sorting, matching and patterns.
4.     This is a great toy for 3 year olds, but it is also a toy that keeps on giving.  It will be used in a simple way by 3 year olds and will still be played with in a more complex and complicated manner by 7 year olds.
5.     The different sizes and shapes are very good for practicing fine motor skills. The child needs both hands to grasp and turn and manipulate the pieces.
6.     The toy can be used for more than constructing. Float the flakes in a bucket of water or water table and add a small fish net. Your child will soon be catching fish. Or use the flakes in art and have your child trace the different shapes.
7.     The toy can be played with alone or cooperatively with friends. It is very flexible.
If you are searching for that special toy for a 3 year old then Create O Flakes may be the right choice for your child. Besides being fun and creative, it is also wonderful for the development of fine motor and math skills for this age.

Pegboard and Pegs

Are you searching for the perfect gift for a toddler or preschooler? If you want to make a big hit with both the child and parents, consider an educational toy such as a jumbo sized pegboard and pegs . This toy is standard in most educational settings and until I studied early childhood development I didn’t understand why. To me it seemed like a mundane toy and not very fun or exciting. There are no flashing lights or sounds and no cartoon characters, but what a pegboard with pegs has is an opportunity to challenge a child in his development.

Counting Toys for 2 Year Olds

As a parent or educator, it is so satisfying to watch a toddler learn new things. Toddlers show such enthusiasm when they successfully place all the shapes in the sorting box or make a block tower without it toppling. This is the stage when kids are learning to count and are acquiring basic math skills, such as knowing that the number one, means one item. These are simple ideas to an adult but are the foundation for future understanding of more complex ideas. We can take advantage of the child’s passion for learning by providing educational counting toys for 2 year olds and counting games for toddlers .                                                      Counting toys for 2 year olds do not need to be complicated.
