If you are new to Discovery Toys, you will enjoy looking through their online catalogue of regularly sold products. Each toy is designed to develop motor skills, fine tune hand eye coordination, engage brain function, and develop further. In addition to the regularly sold items, consumers can also take a look at the latest products on hand for 2010. Below is a list of the ones I think are most exciting.
Rainfall Rattle Aside from the bright beads within this rattle, there is a lot it can be used for. It’s just a fun toy. While the age limit is from 9 months to preschool age, older kids like to play with it too. Different games can be played with this toy. You can listen for different sounds, discuss and recognize colors, watch the beads move down each level, discover cause and effect, and more. This is a wonderful toy to have in your home and Discovery Toys sells it for a pretty good price.
Measure Up! Balance This is a really cool toy. There is a little balance tray of sorts and a bucket on each side. Children can make predictions of how many of each object it will take to balance or outweigh the other side. Kids can sort colors and practice counting skills. Early mathematical skills can be developed, as children discuss how many are left when one is taken away or added. Imaginary play can be introduced. This is a great toy.
Gustav Mole Puppet Puppets are always so much fun. It’s a great way to engage your children in imaginary play; teach them humor or about emotions, as they act out those with the puppet; and learn appropriate behavior. Also, children can learn how to tell stories and act out things.
The Big Hungry Bear Game Kids love to play games! Again, this is a great toy to engage your child with. It teaches them to follow directions, listen to directions, challenge them to learn something new on the spot, work together as a team, learn how to be a good sport and be competitive, and they can learn better reading skills and simple mathematics.
The Complete Garden Works Set This is another really exciting toy. It comes with a book and gardening tools. This is a great thing to teach children early on. They read about a skill, and then, apply it. Gardening can be used to teach about life and how things grow. It teaches children responsibility and work. It teaches them about science to a degree. This is an awesome new product from Discovery Toys.
Pick It This is a multi-purpose game and activity for kids. It teaches about shapes, patterns, mirroring, rotating, building, matching, memory, and thinking. Kids can try to recreate things from memory or from looking at pictures. Kids can learn spatial issues and symmetry. And the greatest thing about this product is that children can play it alone or as a family.
If you’re unfamiliar with Discovery Toys, I strongly encourage you to check them out online. They offer some really great educational, fun, and interactive toys that children will enjoy by themselves or with the whole family.
