Learning Resources: A Great Resource For Quality Educational Toys
I recently had the opportunity to receive and review three educational toys from Learning Resources. I was pleased to get this opportunity as we have purchased items from the before and we have always been pleased with the quality of the toys, the pricing and the fact that the toys engage our children's imagination. With Christmas coming up, and people scrambling for gift ideas, I want to share information about each of these toys it may help you with your Christmas shopping.
If your child has never played with Gears! Gears! Gears!, they are in for a treat! My kids have a small set of Gears! Gears! Gears! and they have used it to make puppies that walk, cool looking aliens and other concoctions. That's why I was excited to get the chance to add to their Gears! Gears! Gears! set with the 121 piece Lights and Action set from Learning Resources! This set comes with a motor and has parts that spin, sparkle and glow in the dark! I can't wait to see what cool creations they make with it!
Gears! Gears! Gears! Motorized Lights and Action Building set contains 121 pieces with easy-to-assemble interlocking gears, bases, connectors, and lights that offer high action fun in daylight or you can watch them glow in the dark! The easy-to-use motor lets children control all the action!
This particular building set encourages children to figure out how gears work together. Because if you don't line them up correctly, they don't turn and your creation doesn't go. This is a basic engineering principal that they are learning while they play! Get your child something new and different this holiday season! My kids guarantee they will love it!
Do you have an animal lover in your home? An aspiring veterinarian? Are you looking for the perfect gift for them that will encourage them to use their imagination and to follow their dreams? Then you will want to check out The Pretend and Play Animal Hospital. This wonderful toy is designed for children ages 3 and up. My daughter, 7, loves it! She spends hours taking care of pets and she doesn't limit herself to the patient that came with the kit. All of her animals can receive treatment here.
Let me tell you what this kit includes:
Tri-fold Animal Hospital (think science fair set up, but not as large)
Dog (not a live one, silly)
E-collar (we had to get one of those for our last dog)
Cast (for that broken foot)
Two bandages
Patient Chart (write on, wipe off, use again and again!)
Thermometer
Stethoscope
Syringe
Ear Scope
Medicine Botles
X-Ray Cards
Treats
Appointment Card (write on-wipe off)
Open/Closed sign
Animal Hospital Sign
Crayons
Eraser
This toy is great fun and it is a great deal! Learning Resources can be counted on for providing quality toys that stir the imagination and hold up to a child's play.
Lastly, we spend a lot of time learning Geography in our home. I have heard from so many people over the years how ignorant people are of geography, not just around the world, but here at home. I have met people in California who weren't sure where Virginia was...come on! I didn't care for Geography when I was in school, so I have made a point of getting my children to understand the way the world lays and to have an appreciation for geographical information.
Learning Resources has just the item to aid me in my quest and to make it fun, fun, fun! Pretend and Play World Traveler is a game designed for children ages 3 and up. Katrina loves it! This kit comes with 91 different pieces!
