Educational learning can also be acquired in the workplace. The workplace is a big depository of theoretical and practical knowledge and skills. There are many things that you did not learn in school which you will learn in the workplace.
  • Outside School – A huge amount of educational learning can be acquired outside the school. It is expected that you will or have learned many things inside the school; however, when you step out of schooling and into the work arena, you will find out that there are lots of things you still have to learn. You will learn many things outside school when you start working.
  • Repetition – You acquire educational learning when you learn about news things which are part of a larger body of knowledge. When you work in a job, you will learn new things and will need to repeatedly apply your knowledge in the work because it is your job. You learn because of the repetition; repetition is the mother of learning. When you continuously repeat performing tasks, you will master them. This is what you do in your work because of specialisation.

  • Variety – On the other hand, in addition to repetition, you will also have variety. There will be things in your work which do not come very often. They will add to your learning. To add, they will make your work less boring. Because they do not come repeatedly, your mind will be freshened up and your brain will absorb the new learning.

Educational learning toys refer to an objects that children use for playing which can also be used for educational and learning purposes. Since toys are only used extensively by children more than any other age group of students, educational learning toys are more often used to supplement educational and learning processes for students in kindergarten and primary school. Many experts in educating children are of the opinion that toys can have a dual purpose as both educational and learning tools that can have the potential to be used not only in school, but also for educating children at home. These educational learning toys can serve as learning tools in the learning process.

Experts in children's education have often stated that educational learning toys are proven to have beneficial effects to the development of a child both at school and in the home in areas such as emotional, physical, intellectual and social development of children most especially during kindergarten years and in early elementary school levels. On a more direct level, educational learning toys enhance and improve children's' learning skills, giving them excellent hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, observation and memorization abilities, differentiating between letters, numbers and objects. This is in addition to other skills that will stimulate and develop the child's learning.

Not all toys that are currently being marketed contribute to the educational learning process of young children. Suitable educational learning toys include building blocks, board games and puzzles. However, electronic toys and computer games which are popular with kids but not with parents due to their addictive nature can also stimulate children's learning in the areas of reading, pronunciation, spelling, mathematics, logic and other basic skills.
