It is important for your child’s early learning development that they are provided toys and crafts that involve two or more skill building activities. Lacing toys are one good example of just such educational childrens toys.
There are several important benefits in providing toddler learning toys which promote good eye-to hand coordination. These include general physical coordination as well as increased self confidence in successfully completing a task.
LacingScapes, a new lacing toy from ImagiPLAY, will provide your children ages 3 and up hours of educational play as they lace 15 creatures into the 8” X 10 “ ocean or pond background. This is an ideal toddler toy to help your children develop fine motor skills as well as problem solving skills.
Children can quietly play and increase confidence in their ability to complete a task all on their own. These toddler learning toys are unique in that they are made from wood and the background and all the creatures and yarn can be safely stored in its own wooden tray.
From the head down towards their trunk the child’s development will progress and providing toys to help improve your child’s eye-hand coordination will help keep their reflexes sharp. The more your child makes use of these types of skill building activities the better they will get.
Babies and toddlers need many educational toys available to play with in their daycare centers, doctor’s offices as well as at home. Toys that are made of wood and have bright, primary colors are recommended.
Educational children’s toys come in many sizes, shapes and varieties. And, as always, open ended toys allow children to use and develop their creative skills. Bead maze toys are a popular rollercoaster toy being used in resource centers, classrooms, clinics and private settings such as therapeutic and rehabilitation centers.
Wire bead toys aid children as well as adults who are physically, mentally, or emotionally-challenged and because there are no loose parts are safe for all ages. Children can learn color recognition, eye-hand coordination, basic counting as well as coordination skills.
These toys are great for promoting visual tracking and motor planning as well and are appropriate for waiting rooms in doctor’s offices as well as at home. See our selection of bead maze toys at All I Can Imagine.
Your kids will enjoy playing with our whimsical toys which are sized to fit in a stroller or car seat for play-on-the-go. Selections include frog, apple tree, flower, bear and black and white kitty. For ages 2 and up.
Special daycare toys of different colors, shapes, sizes and purposes were first introduced to the child care sector. However, the daycare toys available to children today are a far cry from the sandbox, monkey bars, wooden building blocks and rocking horses of a few years ago.
Today, not only do some companies specialize in the production of daycare toys but also mass produce them. The daycare toys themselves include such diverse items as play sets, pianos, easels, clocks, miniature ATM banks, talking microphones that improve speech and a truly amazing array of electronic and computer games/ toys.
Amidst all this sophistication, it is of course comforting to realize that simple wooden railway sets, alphabet/ number blocks, finger paint packs and coloring books are also still much in demand.
It has been proven that daycare toys increase self-confidence, coordination, language skills and creativity while also contributing to the emotional well being of children. As they grow older, children can also be introduced to electronic, computer, magnetic and a myriad of other educational daycare toys.
Wood blocks are as popular as ever and children 18 months and up love the feel of these children’s wooden toys. But, remember to make sure the blocks you purchase are splinter-proof and painted with non-toxic paints and varnishes.
ImagiPLAY is one such manufacturer and you may see their wooden toys on our website, All I Can Imagine. There is a line of Buddy Blocks that just came into the market place last year that children wil love playing with by themselves or with the help of a parent.
Your kids will enjoy owning all three varieties; Backyard Buddy Blocks, Jungle Buddy Blocks, and Farm Buddy Blocks (pictured). Each set includes four, 3.5” square blocks with portions of 6 different animals on each cube.
When you take your kids to grandma and grandpa’s this year why not try something new. Ask them if they still have the tinker toys they played with as a child.
Because batteries were not included they will still be able to be played with. These toddler toys may still be found on the shelves in stores selling kids toys. Tinker toys may well be considered a vintage toddler toy but are still a good value.

On November 25, 1995, turtle lovers in Hawaii showed how important sea turtles are to them. They put up a stone monument at Punalu’u Beach on the Big Island of Hawaii. The monument honours Hawaii’s sea turtles. It also honours the “Legend of Kauila.”
According to Hawaiian legend, Kauila was a turtle with special power. She could turn herself into a young girl. The people of Ka’u loved Kauila because her spring gave them drinking water. They loved her even more because during the day, Kauila took human form and watched over their children as they played along the shoreline of the bay. She did this because she, too, liked to play.
Kauila kept the children safe.
Punalu’u Beach is a beautiful cove of black sand. There are many green sea turtles there. These turtles are tame and friendly. They often swim close to children playing and swimming in the water. This makes the children really happy.

Do You Know Who Said “Imagination is more important than knowledge”?
“For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand” continues Albert Einstein. So, it is nothing new that children explore their world through play and are more likely to develop healthy relationships when playing with open-ended toys.
Pretense, or the ability to engage in pretend play, is the child’s way of thinking. Children have the ability to use one thing to stand for another. Toddlers between ages 18 and 36 months will bring pretend play into full bloom and it is said that the roots of pretense extend back somewhat into infancy.
When selecting toddler learning toys one of the recommended toys are play sets. Providing your child with a playset with a theme he/she is most likely interested in will help ensure he will stay interested in the new toy.

I can’t quite remember, but I believe one of my play tea sets had pink roses on it; yours probably did too! Many hours were spent setting up my table and serving tea to my dolls.
Still very popular, tea sets have goon “green”. I read where a company named Green Toys is reportedly selling a lot of their “green tea sets”, pictured here. The also have cookware, dining sets, sand play sets and even dump trucks.
Green Toys Inc. is a company that specializes in making toys made from recycled plastic, does everything in the USA to save transportation costs, and ends up saving energy in the process.
No matter their material, tea sets have always been effective for building social skills, and imagination. The tea set updates the vintage toy feel of tea time, as it is made with recycled milk containers. This is a great way to preserve the tradition of girl’s tea time, without the danger of broken ceramics.
Speaking of green toys, another manufacture to check out is the line of childrens wooden toys by ImagiPLAY. This company is based in Colorado and all its wooden toys, including their 3d wooden puzzles are manufactured from splinter-proof hardwood.
See their line of toddler learning toys on our website. While you are making tea you could cut up some vegetables with our Veggie Cutting wood activity toy.
Introduce your children to the land and sea distribution of the Arctic! And to make his lesson even more fun provide an “Arctic Expedition” children’s wooden toy for indoor creative fun play.
Toddler learning toys by ImagiPLAY are safe toys for children ages 3 up. Their collection of Play Sets include the evey popular, Arctic Expedition. This award-winning playset includes an 8″ x 5″ tote-able Velcro-closure Igloo and nine chunky wooden figures including a walrus, seal, two polar bears, three people figures and a dog pulling a sled.
The distribution of land and water in the Arctic is a factor with important implications for climate. Because water has a higher heat capacity than land and so exhibits a greater resistance to temperature change than does a land area (that is it has greater thermal inertia), land heats up more during the day and in summer, and cools down more at night and during winter than do adjacent bodies of water. This means that localities immediately adjacent to water exhibit smaller seasonal temperature variations than do localities that are situated well inland. For example, continental conditions cause the climate to be quite severe in the interior of northern Russia and Canada. The “Cold Pole,” or coldest part of the Northern Hemisphere, is in northeast Siberia near Verkhoyansk.
The Arctic consists of an ocean surrounded by land, and the ocean has a warming influence on the land. However, because a large part of the Arctic Ocean is covered by an insulating layer of ice, the warming influence of the ocean in winter is decreased. Leads and polynyas (cracks and open areas in the ice) permit intense heat exchange from the water to the atmosphere during the cold part of the year because of the large differences between the air and water temperatures. But overall, the influence of the ocean in moderating local climate where sea ice is present is much less in winter than in summer. In Norway, where open water persists all year, the moderating effect of the ocean is largest in winter.
