sounds like a fun room for little girls. wish i had one when i was growing up…can i come over and play { just kidding }. i know the kids in my church nursery class { 2-4 yr. olds } would love this room.

At six years old, my ideal present would have been a set of plastic dinosaur models

Lady you have a big job ahead of you, but it sounds like you're doing the right thing by having separate stations for them to entertain themselves. My only comment would be, don't set anything up in your areas of doing things, like the kitchen or your bedroom. The kitchen you need for food and other types of preparations, and the bedroom you need to make more babies. Did you think it was going to be easy with six, try seven or eight, you're on roll. LMAO

[b]Advantages of Educational Toys[/b]

Educational Toys:

Television, computer and video games have taken over toys and outdoor games. Parents truly find it challenging to keep children away from the computer or TV. However TV and computer do not stimulate enough a child’s imagination or enhance the creative skills in a child.

Educational toys are great substitutes to keep your children engaged, all but in a healthy way. Educational toys stimulate your child’s imagination and help him/her improve various skills like motor skills, reading skills, math skills, memory retention and eye-hand coordination skills.

Educational toys can be anything from a simple puppet to a matching game. They make for an interesting activity where children are prompted to think and act, so it is not only a mind game but also a physical game for children. The best thing about these unique educational toys is even parents can join the kids and lead them to learning by playing with them.

How to choose an appropriate educational toy?

As parents it is important for you to choose unique educational toys that are age appropriate. Most educational toys store have variety toys for all age groups. Most of these toys have age range printed on them which does not indicate learning, level but indicates to the age that the toy is safe to play with.

Jenn,
I love your blog! I am particulaly interested now that I have a child on the way myself, lol. I am so with you on the mommy groups. I just want to try to maintain the friends I have because thay are my friends for a reason. The last thing I need is to have somebody shocked that I do not have my (still in utero) child signed up for some education thingy yet or that we don't have the RIGHT type of educational toys or whatever. It is refreshing to hear your point of view.
