Teaches Fine Motor Skills

Many educational toys are oddly shaped and may require some sort of movement in order to get them to make a noise, for instance. This can help help infants and toddlers develop fine motor skills. Being able to pick up smaller objects and manipulate objects is a life skill that educational toys can help with.

Teaches Problem Solving

Many educational toys teach children problem solving skills. Puzzles, for example, challenge children to think in a logical order and to follow the process of one piece of the puzzle following the next pieces. This helps develop sequential learning, too. Math can be taught in this way using educational toys.

Improves Their Creativity

Children are creative by nature, but when you give them educational toys that are designed to challenge them and get them to think, they become even more creative. They will make up imaginative play, have fun building and creating with toys, exploring the world around them, and they can experiment, too, in a safe manner.

Improves Focus and Concentration

Young children have a hard time focusing and concentrating because they are easily distracted by things around them. They become bored easily or uninterested. With educational toys, children can become more engaged with their environment because a toy will keep them occupied and challenged longer. This can help down the road in school, too.
