How the Years go by

Parents using daycare facilities for there children while they work is certainly an asset in many cases. In years gone by, my wife and I on many occasions would help a single mom by having a child stay with us, some times over a weekend. Today these children have children of their own and interestingly enough after 30 years we occasionally receive comments of the impact my wife and I have had in their lives. But even relationships like these can never take the place of the unique bond between parent and child. One of the things that we did that seemed to have a lasting effect was to provide each child with the various educational toys that our children used during some of their playtime.


The benefits of introducing educational toys into a child's the playtime during their early developmental years can provide the stimulation and experiences that create a foundation of learning and growing. As more parents grasp the idea of educational play as well as increased personal interaction with their children, we will all enjoy the benefits. It is much wiser and cost effective to invest into a child’s life today than to address the problems that could have possibly been avoided later in life.

It's hard to go wrong with anything Lego, but Duplos are especially wonderful; bigger and chunkier than ordinary Legos, they build taller, clean up easier, aren't choking hazards to nearby babies, and don't get jammed together and need to be separated with a nail file

I agree with you Henry. Anyway, educational toys for kids can teach children important concepts and existence abilities. That's why parents should be very selective when buying toys for their children.
