Hey everyone! I am so excited to share this information with you about my children. I am SO proud of my children right now! Over the last few days, my kids have been playing with the Discovery Toys Busy Bugs Learning Set, as well as our Playful Patterns. Now, that’s nothing new, because those two games have been one of their favorite games for quite a while. However, they are definitely learning some new things with them!
For starters, my 2 1/2 year old daughter has been learning how to match basic colors correctly. After working with her over the last year on colors and color recognition, and seeing little results, this is the biggest success in this department that I have seen with her! I am SUPER excited and proud of my baby girl!
Now, my son, he LOVES Playful Patterns. As many of you know, he is turning 4 years old this Saturday. Boy how time flies! He has spent countless hours playing with the Playful Patterns game since I joined Discovery Toys back in September 2008. But now, he has taken it upon himself to, instead of placing the colored foam shape pieces on the cards that have picture designs, instead, he looks at the picture on the card, and creates it with the foam shape pieces on our kitchen table. Sometimes, he will even create his own picture! Take yesterday for instance, he decided to create a sailboat with the pieces. He didnt have a picture of a sailboat anywhere in site, he was doing it all from what he visioned in his head. he even made it into a 2D picture by making part of the sail stand up! What does this mean? It means, not only is this game teaching my little boy shape recognition, colors, matching, etc., but it is also teaching him that it is O.K. to use your imagination and create something all on your own! Creativity is a wonderful, exciting thing for children!
I can’t tell you how many hours my children have spent playing and learning with the toys from Discovery Toys, I can tell you this though… I am seeing great results from them playing with these toys, and I will encourage everyone I know, and everyone reading this blog, to buy your children some toys from Discovery Toys the next time you need to buy something for your precious little one. They will love you for it, and you will love seeing the wonderful successes your child will acheive!
