This is a subject I am quite passionate about, having 4 children myself and now with a grandchild I firmly believe that educational toys can speed up development and problem solving skills in children. For that reason I am now going to assist a new venture that offers the very toys that were once a part of my own childhood.
Its an exciting project, there are few sales and a flatline in visitors, virtually no search profile but a bucketload of really exciting learning toys. From an ant farm to a chemistry set and simple wooden toys aimed at stacking and balance this website has it all.
Of course the new names are present, the Very Hungry Caterpillar is hugely popular but then so is Paddington Bear, though my children are all leaving or have left school there is a new generation of small minds heading my way and supporting a project like this will be dear to my heart.
I believe all children should be able to enjoy these great products in a world that is dominated now by electronic games so I aim to use my knowledge to help this new site get a high profile and therefore exposure to the parents who will have the opportunity to give their children something from another era.
Of course I also love computer games and also purchase these and console games for my own children but I am passionate in the ideal of early development for children and the stimulation of their minds. Who knows one day we may well see another crop of entrepreneurs from the next generation to match those that emerged from the 80’s.
Watch this space but try visiting the website www.toysandlearning.co.uk and see the traditional childrens toys that are on offer, who knows maybe you might just join the bandwagon and get traditional toys back on the Christmas lists of our younger generation, never has Britain needed another generation of entrepreneurs than now!!!
As an ex-nursery nurse, this is a subject I am also passionate about and I have studied the evidence that the toys children experience in their early years have a huge impact on their all round development. This site has some great products for promoting that, for individual children and families alike.
I agree Lynsay,
Though my expertise comes from a parent rather than from industry experience I have seen my own children having great fun when they were smaller and I am sure that problem solving and dexterity were enhanced, in addition of course these activities engage parents with their children and so this is also very important for family bonding.
Great post! Just wanted to let you know you have a new subscriber- me!
