Nurture & Educate Through Creative Play With EDTOY Puzzles & Magnetic Blocks

Posted: December 28th, 2011

We have been working through a major phase of sharing and taking turns lately. I don’t know about you but it’s also a major test of endurance trying to resolve and maintain consistency over two squabbling firecrackers! With boys so close in age they share such similar interests and have not quite conquered the almighty task of being patient.

When it comes to toys, we try and find things that involve both of them or indeed have more than one ‘part’ so the sharing component is catered for without too much altercation. With Christmas steadily looming, I’m certainly looking for fun products that also encourage learning, imagination and combined play. With cars the most popular choice in our house,  the Transformobile Series from EDTOY could be a great solution. The range of construction vehicles promote hand-eye co-ordination, concentration and the development of various senses through play. Each vehicle can be pulled apart, allowing a different version to be created each time. You can even mix up the pieces between the entire range. Very clever!

Korean company EDTOY also has a wide range of blocks and puzzles that contains a unique rotating magnet system, allowing greater freedom of movement and form. Using wood,  plastic and EVA, the toys are non-conforming and allow the child to freely create, nurturing their sense of achievement, accomplishment and confidence. If your kids like to assemble and construct, then the EDTOY brand is one for you.

The Transformobile Construction Series is available from Bambini Pronto, with free shipping for orders over $50. The wooden and EVA range can be found at Educational Experience.
