Go to page: 1 | 2 New research has shown that play time is just as much learning as it is fun. Newborn baby boys and baby girls are actually training their minds when they play with simple toys such as blocks, puzzles and even stuffed animals. Infants and toddlers can learn a great deal about the alphabet, numbers, problem solving skills, sharing and many other educational lessons from simple toys that appear to be mindless entertainment but are actually important steps towards intelligent decision making. Basic puzzles are a great way to start your baby off on the path of learning and discovery. Even simple puzzles that match colors and animals can begin the thought process that will teach your infant or toddler recognition, similarity, speech and memory. Babies love friendly animals and a puzzle that features parrots, penguins, panda bears and other colorful animals will stimulate their busy brains to want to learn more as they match the animal with its natural habitat and at the same time encourage them to memorize the name of the animal with the familiar shapes. Another educational toy that seems trivial at first is colorful building blocks. Where most adults see a simple square, researchers have noticed that playing with blocks actually begins to teach infants and toddlers spatial relationships, ratios, proportions and basic geometry skills that will prove helpful as they grow and develop into more complex problem solving skills. Letter jigsaw puzzles are also terrific educational toys for newborns, infants and toddlers. Often made of bright colors and large blocks alphabet jigsaw puzzles are a wonderful way for babies to begin to form the foundation for their language and reading comprehension skills. With the letters in fun and colorful shapes children are able to begin spelling simple words such as “cat”, “sky” and “baby” and also associate each word with the corresponding object. Then babies learn to spell their own name and identify themselves in words. Educational toys are colorful and entertaining ways to begin exercising your newborn baby’s inquisitive mind at an early age so they begin to learn and solve problems on their own while they play.
