Plan Toys not only look great, they are “green,” well designed and above all my kids love them! From my daughter’s Terrace Dollhouse to my son’s Cone Sorting, every Plan Toys set in our house is a coveted item for parents and kids alike. While my kids are drawn to their bold primary colors and appealing design, my husband and I are drawn to their durability and educational value. The newest editions to Plan Preschool line are no exception, from letter and number manipulatives to dexterity building games, Plan Toys has once again topped our “must have” list for birthdays and holidays this year. While some of the newest 2010 additions are not yet available, continue to check back at uTOYpia.com for availability. In the meantime, here is a sneak peak of some of my favorite Plan Toys for 2010:
Block towers are a common place in my house, so this simplistic and eco-friendly design in sure to be a hit in our house. Tumbling Tower helps kids to learn numbers, patterns, shapes all while building hand-eye coordination and logical thinking!
Any parents of a preschooler knows that learning letters is often not as easy or as fun as it seems. This Alphabet A to Z set however, takes learning letters to a new level as it allow children to physically hold each letter, thereby allowing them to study and learn the curves and angles of the letters. Color matching, animal recognition and directions for writing each letter are added bonuses in this letter learning masterpiece.
Three pattern cards, six wood figures and nine elastic bands. To the average adult this activity set may not be appealing, but to a preschooler its an endless invitation for hands-on manipulative fun. Whether they are connecting the family members together or simply experimenting with the magic of elastic bands, preschoolers will quickly be engrossed in this simple, but effective learning tool.
