Preschool Learning Toys - 3 to 5 years

This is the time of make believe. Imagination rules.

The preschool learning toys you buy now, if chosen well, will be played with for years.

Starting to withdraw from dependency of parents and caregivers, independence, self esteem, creativity and self reliance need to be fostered.

Children want to play with other children and so need to learn how to get along well with others. Cooperation and fair play are important. Learning toys foster social and emotional growth.

Preschoolers have a lot of questions; preschool educational toys can satisfy this thirst for knowledge.

Games, puzzles and activities can become increasingly complex and challenging.

Motor skills, both fine and gross are refined and strengthened.

This is the time children usually stop putting anything in their mouths, so a wider range of toys becomes available.
