Toys play a crucial role in children’s development, helping them build creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills — all while having fun. If you are looking to add some educational toys to your child’s routine, here are a few standout options that combine learning and entertainment. From hands-on construction to storytelling and screen time that teaches, these educational toys have something for every curious mind.

 

1. LEGO City Collection: Building Skills, One Brick at a Time

The LEGO City Collection is a fantastic way to help kids develop spatial awareness, fine motor skills, and creativity. This line features realistic settings — from bustling police stations to vibrant fire departments, airports, and construction sites. Each set invites kids to build scenes, solve problems, and engage in imaginative play. With LEGO City, children don’t just follow instructions — they can create their own stories, design custom buildings, and learn how different parts of a community work together. It’s hands-on learning at its best!

2. Manimo Sleepies: our kids’ new best friends

These adorable, lightly weighted plush animals have become a must-have in our bedtime routine. They bring such a calming presence, helping our little ones feel secure and relaxed as they drift off to sleep. It’s amazing to see how quickly they’ve become a comforting part of winding down. If you’re looking for a cozy, soothing sleep buddy, the Manimo Sleepies are truly a game changer.

 

3. Melissa & Doug Role Play Sets: Imagination Meets Real-World Skills

For kids who love pretend play, Melissa & Doug’s role play sets offer creative ways to develop social skills and practical knowledge. Whether it’s playing chef, veterinarian, or doctor, children learn about different careers, practice communication, and develop empathy through imaginative role play.

4. Fun & Educational Games to Play on iPad

Screen time doesn’t have to mean mindless scrolling — thanks to the App Store, the iPad offers an incredible selection of educational games that turn learning into playtime. Here are some top-rated, Apple-friendly apps designed to keep kids entertained while boosting their knowledge and creativity:

  • Khan Academy Kids: This award-winning, free app offers interactive games and activities in math, reading, writing, and creativity for younger children. It’s optimized for the iPad’s large screen, making it engaging and easy to navigate.
  • Toca Life World: One of the most creative and beloved kids’ apps, Toca Life World lets children design characters, build imaginary towns, and create their own stories. It’s the perfect sandbox game for fostering creativity and storytelling — all within a colorful, touch-friendly environment.
  • Swift Playgrounds: For older kids interested in coding, Swift Playgrounds is a hands-on way to learn real programming concepts in Apple’s own Swift language. It’s a brilliant introduction to the world of coding, designed specifically for iPad.
  • Endless Alphabet: Ideal for early learners, this adorable app helps children build vocabulary through engaging word puzzles and playful monster animations. It takes full advantage of the iPad’s touch-and-drag interface.
  • Apple Arcade Educational Picks: If you have an Apple Arcade subscription, you also gain access to games like Crayola Create and Play+ (which encourages creativity through drawing and design) and Patterned (a calming puzzle game that builds pattern recognition skills).
