This is a difficult time for all of us, especially for those with children at home. On the one hand, while you cherish the extra time you now have to spend with them, keeping them occupied can often be a challenge.
You hope they can still be learning something away from school, but all work and no play makes everyone, whether they are called Jack or Jill or something else, very dull indeed. Fortunately there’s a solution: toys!
And especially toys that are both fun and educational. Playing with the right kind of toys can offer kids genuine benefits. Like discovering their identity, or learning more about the world or boosting their creativity. Or even helping them to express their emotions. For example through role playing. Here are some toys that you can recruit to do all of these things:
A little dancing can always lift up anyone’s mood. It is easy to command, and there are over 30 kinds of touch patterns for programming, you can ask your children to find them all out – a great and fun exercise to strengthen their memories.
Mini Revolt loves a crowd. Get more so your kids can play with them together, thanks to the fact that it uses 2.4GHz technology to support multiple players!
The mould breaker may not be the most conventional looking rc-car out there, but it will wow your kids with 360 stunts! Being different is not always bad!
The monster your kids love! Monster Stunt stands out immediately with its fifth wheel, which is more than just a fashion statement – it provides the toy with great stabilization, a great way to get children curious about technology and physiology.
A lot of children would want to be a pilot – but flying one takes concentration, you can give them an Air Stork and let them get stronger concentration through flying it. A fun game would be trying to get them to land the toy on a certain spot!
How to make playing toys even more fun for your kids AND you:
- Let kids be kids That may sound trite, but playing with toys can be an important learning process for them. Let them figure things out for themselves. Don’t be too eager to correct everything they say or do with their toys. Be gentle with your reminders so they don’t associate toys with criticism. Let them live in their fun world.
- Let them contribute. For example, if they want to play with the Maze Breaker, let them build a maze. They will learn the value of contribution and feel that they are growing up.
- Set up a play schedule: Too much play time isn’t good, so let them know in advance how much time they can get to play with their toys, so they don’t get carried away with only playing.
- Play with the toys together: Sometimes you can let them play on their own, but don’t feel silly if you are invited to join in. Make a mini fashion show with them! It gives you a chance to bond with them.
