Preschool Activity Toys

Preschoolers are at an age where they need constant engagement as they begin to look at the world in different ways. This is why toy manufacturers have created age-specific preschool activity and educational toys geared specifically at children who are three or four years old. From zoo preschool activity toys featuring all their favourite animals to branded toys from popular children's TV programmes, you can find a whole range of colourful toys that will appeal to your child's interests and abilities.

Which Factors Should I Consider When Buying Preschool Toys?

With so many preschool activity toys and educational games to select from, it can be difficult to know what you should buy for your little one.

  • Look for activity toys that are durable and sturdy as preschoolers often play without restraint and will easily damage flimsy toys. High-quality plastic or wooden toys tend to be the sturdiest.
  • If you're looking at buying toys that have moving parts, such as wheels or body parts, consider how easily they may break or whether they will withstand rough play.
  • Always consider the child for whom the toy is intended and whether it will suit their individual level of development and stimulus requirements.

What Kind of Preschool Activity Toys Are Available?

There are a wide variety of activity toys designed specifically for preschoolers on the market and each has a distinct purpose in mind when it comes to the engagement and development of the child.

  • If you want to encourage your preschooler's understanding of letters and words, look for toys that help to engage and foster their reading skills.
  • Some preschool toys encourage an awareness of numbers and will have your child learning basic counting skills.
  • Get your children building with construction preschool activity toys or let their imaginations run wild with safari preschool activity toys and those that encourage life skills.

Should I Buy Battery-Operated Toys?

Battery-operated toys often feature special lighting and sound effects that will engage children and provide stimulation.

  • Keep in mind that you will need to replace the batteries at regular intervals, so factor this into the long-term costs of the toy.
  • Non-battery-operated toys, such as dolls and building blocks, may not seem as exciting at first, but they will allow your child's imagination greater freedom to roam and create.
