So, what are educational toys? The concept of educational toys can be understood from three perspectives: first, toys should be leisure, interesting, and entertaining; second, who are they for? At present, when we talk about educational toys, everyone will assume that they are suitable for children. Some manufacturers believe that the educational level can be expanded, but most will assume that educational toys should be children's toys. Therefore, the difficulty of the design should not exceed the limit of children; third, the key is that it must be educational, that is, it has the function of developing intelligence and cultivating abilities for the user (whether it is a child or an adult). [1]
In fact, in addition to developing intelligence, educational toys have more functions. For example, stimulating functional development, educational toys with bright colors and attractive lines can stimulate children's vision; "rings" that make sounds when squeezed, "small pianos" that make various animal sounds when keys are pressed can stimulate children's hearing; rolling colored balls can cultivate children's sense of touch. Therefore, different educational toys are effective tools to help children understand the world, helping them to coordinate the reactions of various senses in their bodies to contact and recognize new things. Educational toys also have the function of coordinating body functions.
For example, when a child builds a shape with a box of building blocks, he or she needs to use not only the brain but also the hands. By playing with educational toys, the child's physical functions such as hand-foot coordination and hand-eye coordination can be trained and gradually established. It also helps in practicing social activities. When children play educational toys with their peers or parents, they are unconsciously developing their social relationships. Even if they are prone to stubbornness and quarrels in cooperation or competition, they are actually developing a spirit of cooperation and learning to share with others, laying the foundation for their integration into society in the future. At the same time, language ability, emotional release, and hands-on ability are all improved to a certain extent. 3. Intellectual assembly toys 4. Remote control toys 5. Jigsaw puzzle toys 6.
