Between the ages of 3 to 6 years old, children learn and assimilate vast amounts of information. They are fascinated in each new discovery that they make and the toys and games they play with influence their development.

There are toys and games that can help toddlers and preschool children acquire skills that will help them succeed later on in elementary school such as social, communication, reading, counting, creative, problem solving, physical and motor skills.

Reading Games
Acquiring reading and counting skills early on is quite useful. The earlier your child can recognize letters or count, the better. Reading activities that involve picture books and animal books for children help toddlers and preschoolers develop a love for reading. Phonics games can also motivate children to read and can make learning to read really fun! Magnetic letters help preschoolers become exposed to the letters of the alphabet and learn to spell new words, including their own name!

Counting & problem solving games
Sorting and stacking toys, shape sorter toys and building blocks help toddlers develop motor skills, problem-solving skills and even social skills (as they play with other kids). These toys can also help them practice their numeracy by counting, by adding or taking away parts. Sometimes they are specifically designed so that kids learn numbers and the letters of the alphabet as they have numbers printed on them. Jigsaw puzzle games is also one of the preschool games that helps young children develop social and problem solving skills as they play with other kids and strategize about the best way to complete the puzzle.


Other skills
It's been proven that physical education can have a positive influence on your child's growth not only by making him a more healthy kid but also by having a positive influence on the brain. Ride on toys can help your toddler exercise, develop his or her muscles and enhance physical coordination skills. There are also sports activities designed for preschoolers.

Educational video games and laptop computers for children are great educational tools that teach the alphabet, counting, time and even languages. Finally, being organized and on time is important and telling time games teach young children how to tell time and chore charts keeps them organized!
