Cognitive games can help your kid settle down, keep herself busy, and let you feel like you’ve finally found the “pause” button. All cloaked under the category of “fun”, these games help enhance cognitive skills, IQ, and logical thinking. A sure shot way for your kid to fight boredom!
3. Fun Dexterity Toys
If you want to keep your kid active, energised and healthy, then the solution is dexterity toys. Choose the ones that can build your child’s gross and fine motor skills!
4. Wonderful Word Games
Add a touch of learning with these word games. Your kid doesn’t have to be crazy about words; she has to be crazy about having fun. Learning can be a by-product. And, if she can spell words like pharaoh, logorrhoea or gobbledygook, you know the games are working their magic!
5. Kits for the Curious Cats
Some kids are naturally inclined towards the 5Ws of everything that functions in the world. If you’ve often found yourself looking-up answers to the things your kid wonders about, you have a curious contender in the family. One of the effective ways to keep such kids engaged and entertained is to fuel their inquisitiveness with science kits. Don’t forget to enter the laboratory with caution.
6. Energetic Sports-Themed Toys and Games
Got a little sports freak in the house who will jump out of her bed at the mere mention of her favourite sport? Then, you have to get some sports-themed toys and sports-related games to keep her engaged. Let the game begin!
7. Mesmerising Musical Toys
“It’s home, I’m with my family, but it’s still stressful.” If these are your thoughts, too, you and your child both need music therapy. Whether it’s musical mobiles, drums, xylophone, or robots, musical toys can help you lighten a little bit and also keep your little darling entertained. How about a live gig in your living room soon?
8. Imaginative Play Toys
Children are most comfortable in their own world, even if it is an imaginary one. No, they aren’t going crazy; they are naturally imaginative and love pretending to be someone they are not. You must have already seen your child copy you and your mannerism. Well, you can use it to your own advantage now. How do you ask? By keeping them occupied with imaginative play toys and roles and pretend to play toys and games. Let your child get as imaginative as she wants to.
9. Subscription Boxes
