The Wonderful World of the Brain

Brainstorming is defined as; a technique of solving specific problems, amassing information, stimulating creative thinking, developing new ideas, etc.

Studies indicate that the brain region that helps children sense and interpret the world around them is dramatically affected by early childhood experiences. Most researchers agree that the early years of a child’s development are the most critical and it is during these early years that educational and developmental skills prepare children for their future.

The truth be known, any toy that a child engages during playtime as well as every experience they have does affect and develop the brain. However, educational toys because of there interactive nature, when introduced into a child’s playtime contribute to their cognitive skills.

Even babies, although they do not play very much, still need to be introduced to the world around them because their gross motor skills begin to develop as well as their senses. But toddlers are in an entirely different world. Toddlers begin to quickly learn about the world around them. Their curiosity causes their imaginations to grow, eye hand coordination develops, verbal skills increase, logic helps them with problem solving, they learn to socialize with others and accomplish individual achievement. So hand out the educational toys and let your child's brain grow!

Science toys interest my children and they have a few of these toys at home. I am amazed to see my children enjoy playing these kind of toys and at a very early age can explain to me the transformation of the butterfly or metamorphosis- that's what my child told me so.

Puzzles are fun way to improve fine motor skills. From the time a baby can start eating solid food parents give their children cheerios to help a child with their pincher grasp.
