what toys are educational for kids 1-5 years old?

We Answered:

How about puzzles, kids love giant floor puzzles. You can also start them on games, memory ones or candyland etc.. Playmobil makes great, durable play sets for both ages. Any toys that let your child's imagination flow free with interactive play will always be educational. Sometimes the simpler the better. Save the V-tech for when kids are on a car trip but not for everyday play. There's plenty of time for them to be looking at a computer screen.

I'm looking for someone to invest $10,000 in an idea for an educational toy for kids. How do I find the funds?

We Answered:

I think it will be a good idea to go to a bank and take personal loan, or talk to your friends if they like to invest in your idea.

Friends and Co-Workers seem critical that I am not into Educational Toys for my Kids?

We Answered:

This issue really sets me off. A set of blocks is educational for a toddler or preschooler. So is the collection of pots, pans, and spoons. Or a mirror. Or two stuffed animals who can have adventures together spanning a whole host of things that a child is learning about. Or (crazy idea) -- a book. Most of the "educational" toys on the market are just plain ridiculous. Something doesn't become educational just because it has the abcs printed on it, and there's a whole lot more to learn about life than letters and numbers. In my opinion, most "educational" toys are a marketing scam that do more harm than good, at least if they come in the place of more traditional and imaginative toys. And I can tell you my kids have done great academically in kindergarten and beyond without them.

If you want a good argument back to your co-workers, I recommend reading "Einstein Never Used Flashcards" from your local library or book store.

My 4 year old LOVES her v-smile and leapster! She also loves playing games on the computer, so some fun software would be educational.
