Brainstorming

Research reveals that a child’s brain development is most affected from infancy – 6 years of age. It is also the ages in which parents will learn and understand their child’s individual abilities and capacity for learning. To be more specific, a Stanford School of Medicine researcher reported that the brain regions that help children sense and interpret the world are dramatically affected by early childhood experiences and concluded that educational toys help to provide various experiences that stimulate young minds. 


By introducing educational toys to your child during this crucial period gives your child's brain a "head start". Nerve cells called neurons connect to each other to make circuits that enable the brain to think, do and experience more things. The more that a child’s five senses are stimulated the more these connections in the brain are established. With the exception of tasting and smelling, educational toys are designed to provide multisensory stimulation through hearing, seeing and touching. So let's get started with interactive educational play and watch how educational toys will help your child begin to "brainstorm" at an early age.
