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.
