The four types of toys that help develop children's skills

The cold weather has arrived, and that means the time has come for… plans at home! Saturdays and Sundays at home have become the main plan for our weekends.

This post is dedicated to families with kids. Just for you, we have a set of proposals for games to play at home.

The most important thing when choosing a children's game is to know what it is for or what benefits it offers for little ones. In addition to having fun, these games will help them learn and develop skills.

So parents, stay tuned and take notes: we are going to offer a few suggestions for toys based on their functionality. Let's get started! 

1. Cognitive development games.

Some games can help children by promoting their information processing skills: learning, memory, reasoning, and problem-solving.

Educational toys are the best option for this.

If your little one loves assembly games, they will be a fan of building games. This type of game has some specific benefits:

• It helps them learn cognitive skills related to creativity, attention, and planning.

• Reasoning. They learn to reason and understand processes by putting their own toys together.

For the most curious kids, we suggest an experiment… A dinosaur egg! You will just have to put the egg in a glass of water, wait for it to break, and in about 72 hours, you will have a dinosaur. With this game, children will also build patience and learn about the processes of evolution.

2. Games for social and emotional development.

Social and emotional development is a child's ability to relate. They must develop their ability to express themselves and to know and manage their social skills.

Teach them to develop empathy in the funnest way possible. Becoming someone else for a day!

Medicine, makeup, hairdressing... They can be whatever they want with backpacks from different professions!

Do you know the benefits of this type of game?

• They stimulate vision and creativity.

• Kids learn about a few professions and how they work.

• They develop manual dexterity.

• They come to understand cause-effect relationships.

3. Games for speech and language development.

The development of speech is a progressive process that occurs throughout the first years of life. Children go through many phases before they can create a sentence on their own and understand language.

Therefore, interactive games can help make this process a lot more fun.

With interactive dolls, they will develop their ability to create a dialog, as well as their creativity and imagination. They will have a friend with them who talks to them and repeats everything they say. They will have a great time together!

4. Games for physical development.

Physical development includes various skills. These are the basic motor skills. The ability to use fingers and hands or the ability to sit, stand, walk or run, balance, and change position.

It lets kids build and knock down their own creations with sensory games. They will help them practice hand coordination with their eyesight.

In addition, if your kids never sit still, they will love having entertaining games that they can move with non-stop, such as classic jump rope or inflatable animals to work on their balance.

We hope that our ideas will give you plenty of game options to spend the weekend with the kids. Now there's only one thing left... have fun!
