Learning toys for 8 to 12 years

Hobbies and interests are key here. Learning toys are complex and electronic games rule.

Toys need to be sophisticated and entertaining. Toys that expand their knowledge of the world are great.

Children need to develop their reading, maths and social skills. Expand and consolidate knowledge, both general and specific, in areas such as history, geography, science, music, medicine and health.

Sport is very important, especially group and team sport.
