Educational Toys

We have tried to select the best children's educational toys , learning games and puzzle toys. From brainteasers to science toys & kits, literacy aids to remote controlled helicopters and creative building sets to wooden toys. Our educational puzzles and learning toys have been hand picked to ensure they develop, entertain and educate.  When children reach preschool age, it's time to start learning about letters, numbers and language skills. Orchard toys, Learning Resources, Melissa and Doug specialise in pre-school toys and school toys that encourage this type of learning. Products range from simple educational puzzles to high-tech electronic gadgets. These can give your child a head start by introducing them to the concepts they will be learning in primary school.

Construction Toys & Kits

Building toys are not the most expensive products but they are very effective at developing skills such as creativity, paying attention, creative problem solving, hand eye-coordination and even primary maths skills. In short, construction toys for boys & girls age 3, 4, 5 to 11 years old are probably the best value developmental toys that you can buy. There are construction toys other than Lego, our range is of construction kits toys are from Meccano, Zoob toys, Quercetti, Polydron toys and Mega Bloks.

Learning Toys & Games

Learning toys are a brilliant way to help children learn, practice and develop essential social and cognitive thinking skills. Toys, active play and fun are very effective in teaching these life skills. As more and more is discovered about the human brain it is clear that learning in a natural way is best. At pre-school and early primary stages (2,3 ,4 ,5, 6 and 7 yeas old) the natural way to learn is through active play. These are skills like problem solving, paying attention, trial and error. Unfortunately, they are not studied at primary school and are difficult to teach without hands on play. However, they  provide the foundation for how well children will learn in the future. Our range of  learning toys  help to develop these skills without children ever realising.

Science Toys for Kids

Science for kids can be daunting and difficult when they start science KS2 and science KS3 at school. Science education can be made more fun and accessible with the right science experiments for kids, science projects and science resources. Our range of science gifts are fun and inspiring with award winning science toys and science kits. We have a range of science kits for kids from Horrible Science, John Adams Toys, Eino, and Quercetti toys. These science sets range from electronics kits, chemistry sets, educational science, planetariums, software and engineering toys.

Primary Maths Games

There is now compelling evidence that certain kinds of primary maths games boost pre school and primary school maths skills. Developing these skills early are strongly predictive of mathematical achievement and scores later in life. Our selection of primary maths games are appropriate for both key stage 2 maths (KS2) and key stage 1 (KS1). Collins primary maths, espresso primary maths, and worksheets are good examples of strong primary maths resources and numeracy resources.
