Unique Children Toys for 3 to 5 year old Kids
Children learn through play.The choices parents and caregivers make on a daily basis have an impact on a child's development, especially in the first few years. Toys and the opportunity for play facilitate this development process. Have you watched your husband dress his first born for the first time? I did. It was at this moment that the importance of play became as clear as daylight. The realization of the importance of all the hours and years of playing doll dawned on me at that point. It made me determined to ensure that I pay a lot of attention to the play opportunities and toys I expose my own children to. The foundations for intelligence in the growing child is developed and practiced in play. We as caregivers are responsible for the tools (toys and opportunity) we provide children to lay the foundation that will serve the child for the rest of his or her life. Developmentally appropriate toys are important, but the most important building blocks we can give a child are warm, dependable and loving relationships. Toys facilitate play, but it can never replace the relationships we have with our children. Several studies have shown that the relationships our young children have with their caregivers can shape them into the types of adults they will become. Let's work together to have healthy and happy kids. Ape to Zebra believes that children learn skills such as speech, language, counting, logical thinking, motor skills, abstract reasoning, planning and more through play. That is why we focus on children toys that are educational, developmentally appropriate and of course fun! For preschoolers and kindergarten children (age 3 to 5) we have a unique selection of high quality educational toys that makes gift giving easy.
Our selection of children toys include a carefully selected collection of children books - by Barefoot Books. The books usually have a matching puzzle, story CD, hand puppets or finger puppets that children can use to play out the story or make up their own stories. These combinations usually make great children gifts.
Our selection of building and construction toys includes train sets, building blocks and construction sets by Heros (Brio compatible), gear construction sets by Quercetti and more. We believe that it is never to early to introduce children to the importance of a healthy lifestyle and we do it the fun way with Wai Lana's Little Yogis yoga set or the ever popular 'My Daddy is a Pretzel' book and bendo. Teach children that it is OK to be different with Herb the Vegetarian Dragon's Peace, Love and Vegetables Gift Set . Educational family games and board games foster learning and makes way for quality family time away from the television - a time to interact, socialize and learn while having fun! Children at this age also enjoy being creative and will spend hours enjoying pretend play. 3 to 5 years is a great age to introduce story CDs. Children will enjoy hours of listening pleasure, going on imaginary adventures. Listening to stories (some of the Barefoot Books have full length story CDs included) develop speech and language skills and enhance imaginative play and stimulates memory development.
