The educational toys I like are the types of toys that distract you from learning to read. so you can relax for a moment. I'm talking about the nature in the mail toys like aquasaurs, butterflies and ants, amongst others. Nowadays the postman can deliver some amazing stuff and these live toys can help to take the away the strain of studying.
There are so many toys out there it is difficult to find something suitable for your child. Most children just follow the trend and want what their friends have or what they see advertised on TV. And it is us parents who have to foot the bill. So if possible stick to educational toys as they can benefit your child.
Another thing that is problematic with kids is books. They love all books but they don't want to read them. They see a book and they want it then it is left on the shelf collecting dust. So what do you do? I love the library and it saves a lot of money and they kids can play around looking at whatever books they like.
This can have an adverse affect on the kids as they see all the books but they can't have them. So if they start reading a book and they really like it I end up buying it for them. That way they get the best of both worlds and the house id not cluttered with unread books. Some books that are recommended I will buy like the Scholastic Phonic Readers.
