As a teacher turned toy hunter, finding gifts with an educational element has always been front of mind. With the kids back at school, I’m reminded once again how it’s the little things we do as parents and relations that help our kids grow and blossom into bright, independent young adults.
Little things like guided play, delegating responsibility and giving educational gifts. Even from a young age, we can help kids develop skills with simple but effective games and toys.
Among the gift collections at What2Buy4Kids you’ll find many educational presents that will help your children learn.
Construction Toys
Explore the construction toys collection where the ever-popular Zoob comes in all shapes and sizes – available for children under 6 in the Junior range, and over 6 in the Traditional.
Scientific Toys
Our science toys collection inspires the chemist in all of us! I would happily while away an hour experimenting with one of these fantastic sets. Do you know someone who’d love one of these?
Stationery Sets
To keep kids engaged at school, our unique stationery sets, kids bookmarks, kids pencil cases and bags will make them the coolest kids in town! I overheard three very enthusiastic girls discussing their new stationary collections this week, as they prepared for the return to school. Even as a teacher, I looked forward to treating myself at the beginning of the year with smart new pens and pencils for the term ahead.
And while all that learning and play is important, sleep has long been known as the secret to smart, switched on pupils. The brightest kids in the classroom are always the ones who get enough sleep!
Kids Relaxation gifts
To relax your kids when they get home from a busy day at school, try our animal slippers, microwavable hotties and if you’re feeling very indulgent, our travel pillows for the journey home!
How do you keep your kids switched on and educated at home? What do you do to support them in the classroom? I’d love to know your thoughts.
