Creative play is important in a child’s education. Providing educational children’s toys such as playsets allow creative play for a child playing alone or in a group.
Playsets are also a great teaching tool for lessons. With the chunky pieces of individual sea animals in the Sealife playset pictured here you can make up games to teach children about the wonderment of under water life.
Here is another game you could use. Find pictures of sea life creatures, or have the children find them. Laminate and cut them in half. Have your children match up the fronts with the backs of the creatures. If you can’t find any pictures you could trace the individual figures from the puzzle playset onto brightly colored construction paper.
Another variation of this game is for the teacher to mismatch the animals’ halves and see if the children can spot the correct halves.
Home schools and preschools will get years of use out of wood puzzles, puzzle playsets and indoor wooden play sets when purchasing quality educational children’s toys. Shop for toys that are made from splinter-proof wood and painted with non-toxic paints. And remember to wipe down and sanitize all your toys each day.
