Top Educational Toys for 2013
Coming
in at the top of the list for 2013, the Snap Circuits Jr. SC-100 toy is going over really well with parents and kids
alike. It’s won many awards and lets your child build more than 100 systems like a burglar alarm or doorbell –
all using this toy! There’s also an SC-300 version.
The Insect Lore Live Butterfly Garden is a wonderful toy for learning about nature. You’re given an
enclosure that you can hang up – and they ship you the worms, which are enclosed in a container with their food.
Once they tuck away into their cocoon, your child gently hangs them
in the net enclosure and waits for them to emerge as butterflies, which they can then release into your garden.
Young kids are going to learn well from toys like building blocks,
magnetic alphabet toys, and smart screen electronics. There are dozens of toys on the bestseller list, and LeapFrog
takes the cake when it comes to helping kids learn, such as with their LeapPads.
There are many great toys that have your child exploring the Earth and the universe.
For example, the 4M Crystal Mining Kit is ranked really high for exploration and so is the Star Explosion Glow in
the Dark set, where kids can learn about what’s in outer space.
There are many affordable scientific learning toys, like the Scientific Explorer Magic Science for
Wizards Only Kit, which helps kids learn about the science happening behind the label of “magic.”
