Nursery toys are vital in the early years setting because of the many different benefits they bring to young children. Young children are always learning, as a result, they need to be constantly motivated and stimulated. This wide and varied range of nursery toys allows children to explore all their senses, for example, touch, sight, hearing, speaking and smell.
Nursery toys are beneficial due to the fact they;
encourage a child to reach out and explore
colourful and varied in design
engage children in group or individual play
stimulate the senses
develop fine motor and gross motor skills
support early years learning
This range of diverse and interesting toys will capture a child’ imagination because of the range of toys available. For example, will they choose to play with the Crocodile Wall Game with its jingling xylophone, ball maze and bead frames? Or what about the Colour Discovery Boxes packed with different objects and shapes?
Through play children acquire an array of different abilities. For example, they develop fine motor skills, gross motor skills and hand to eye coordination. As they play together they refine their communication skills and learn cooperative play. Their hand to eye coordination is refined as they thread the beads over the wire for example on the multi activity cube.
The range promotes fun whilst providing exciting and stimulating opportunities to learn.
We have a wide range of sensory toys which include developmental toys, glow in the dark toys, special needs toys, activity boards and activity cubes you may wish to take a look at.
