As the trend to label toys as"educational" continues to grow, parents may wonder whether the hype associated with these kinds of toys is authentic and if they are worth the cash. Below are five tips from education and toy experts on what to consider when selecting an educational toy to your child:
The tie between schooling and toys has ever existed but with the continuing wave of high-technology educational toys, so many of the toys teachers and parents used to associate with learning might no longer be known because of their instructional value. "The best toys are easy and open minded," states Ellen Wild, chairperson of the Early Childhood Program at Dutchess Community College.
Wild suggests giving children crayons, markers and plain paper, together with ribbons and envelopes to encourage considering writing. She also points into blocks, Legos, and manipulatives (believe: stacking toys, shape sorters) to help develop modest muscles in the hands and fingers in anticipation of composing and also to assist with perceptual motor abilities. Wild states she does see kids which have been entertained too solely by toys and electronics with"bells and whistles". "Many of these children haven't heard persistence, an ability to concentrate without being entertained," says Wild,"(They) haven't enjoyed being creative in their own and are not excited by learning and books."

Individualize your approach
"Toys are resources in creating the learning environment," says Natasha Kravchenko, representative of Educational Toys Planet, an online retailer since 2002. Kravchenko states it is important to choose the ideal toy for the child's particular age, attention or stage. And to not purchase what you want or what you wanted as a kid except to purchase the toy that is suitable for your child's character. She proposes considering which toys can make your kid want to discover something new, improve their abilities, and encourage independent learning. "You can assess customer's reviews and manufacturer's age guidelines, but your choice should largely depend on your child," says Kravchenko,"not other people's opinion about the toy"
Visit the land of make believe


"The best toys are those which boost creativity and pretend play," says Nancy Werner, Kindergarten teacher in Traver Road School at Pleasant Valley. "These toys also develop with the child and they can use them for many functions."
Werner, with a four-year old, suggests dress up clothes, play food and dolls to foster imagination, production of language and stories which lead to reading comprehension and writing abilities. She also urges creative games that be played adults or other kids, such as Candy Land, for growing counting, cooperation, turn taking and problem solving.
Be realistic

Parents should be careful about the claims made by instructional toy commercials. "Children's development can not be accelerated," says Jim Taylor, Ph. D, Psychology, author of"Your Children are Under Attack: How Popular Culture is Destroying Your Kids' Values, and How You Can Protect Them." "Children can only develop at the pace they are capable."
http://vinculacion.udla.edu.ec/forums/forum/ideas-y-vinculacion/ claims that attempting to accelerate a child's development can actually slow down it because children are forced to do things for which they are not developmentally ready. The outcome is that kids are prevented from doing exactly what they ought to be doing at their stage of growth.
"It's more important to have conversations with children and ask them questions to help them explain and believe than to invest hundreds of dollars on a toy or movie that is going to be only a 1 way'dialog'," says Werner.
Werner and Wild both point to books, either purchased or borrowed, as being among the very best educational assets your youngster can own. And among the best tools parents can use to educate their kids. "One of the best educational'toys' for a child is an adult who spends time talking, studying, and enjoying the marvels of the world with (them)," says Wild.
