As a parent, it's important for your children to not only play, but learn as well ? ideally at the same time! Faraway Tree's range of educational toys enable children to grasp essential skills; helping their knowledge of numbers, improve their language skills, and develop dexterity and co-ordination.
Among the Arts and Crafts of Faraway Tree's educational toys and games, the simple ideas are the most effective. Available in upper and lower case versions, the ABC wooden template sets enable children to learn the alphabet. Solidly constucted, the shapes of the letters become distinctive and recognisable, allowing your child to draw around the shapes and colour them in. Improving motor skills and concentration, the Lacing Beads and Threading Fun Beads are brightly coloured, giving children a chance to make their own creations.
Educational toys to build and create
For older children, the Cosmic Rocket and Solar System Mobile making kits bring a scientific approach to the classic game. The kit comes with full instructions and all the necessary parts to build.
Perhaps one of the more obvious and practical ways of watching a child develop their awarness and skill is by building. Construction toys from Faraway Tree include the classic wood building blocks and wooden castle, building structures using balance and stacking. Requiring more engagement from your child, the Junior Tradesman range cleverly takes the basic concept of building, using cement, blocks, walls and roofing. The cement is a non-toxic mortar that allows construction and easy demolishing, which means that a first attempt doesn't need to be a last.
Educating day by day
Educational and scientific toys such as the Magnetic Numbers Box includes not only 100 numbers as the name suggests, but also calculation symbols and sticks. My Calendar (available in pink or blue) can be hung anywhere. Embroidered days, months and years make learning the time between sleeps easier! Another clever element of this educational toy is that months are colour coded, clearing up some of the confusion of how the year works.
