- Classic Toys – Intrinsic Magic
Toys today seem to come with a host of electronic features. They can dance, sing, jump, giggle even wet their nappies (why would anyone want a toy like that?).
However, some child psychologists actually advise against giving very young children any electronic toy. They believe that babies and toddlers need to develop their hand and eye coordination, their imagination, and their motor skills—so giving something that moves and grooves at the touch of a button is counterprod... - Animal Theme Kid Furniture
It’s so fun being a child nowadays. There are so many different kinds of toys. The computer and the Internet put the world at the fingertips. And they even have their own specially designed furniture—miniature beds, chairs, tables, toy chests, bookshelves, and clothes cabinets.
The Benefits of Specially Designed Children’s Furniture
But what’s so important about investing in children’s furniture? For one thing, it’ll actually be good for your child’s health. When they u... - Sleepovers And Sleeping Bags
As our child grows older, he begins to form friendships. They meet, and make, their first “best friends.” They look forward to hanging out on the play ground, or whisper secrets to each other on the phone. They join the same clubs (or they start their own clubs), they help each other with homework, and they run to each other when they have a problem.
And then, quite inevitably, they start begging their moms for a chance to have a sleepover. We all know that there will actu... - Noah’s Ark Themed Kid’s Room
Did you know that in Puritan England, the Noah’s Ark was the only toy that the austere moral system allowed? At that time, laughter and frivolity were frowned upon, and it was considered “indulgent” to allow children too many playthings. However, the Noah’s Ark was praised as a toy “that taught good character” because it borrowed from a story in the Bible!
Thankfully, those days have passed, and play and laughter are welcomed as a sign of a happy and healthy child. But eve... - The Dollhouse: A Timeless Toy For Hours Of Fun
Every little girl dreams of owning a dollhouse. Here, her tiny “family” holds their many adventures—adventures her active, imaginative mind is free to invent and reinvent each day. She can rearrange the furniture, reenact familiar rituals and scenes, and invent her own rules. “In a dollhouse, there is are bedtimes.” “In a doll house, everyone gets to eat 100 pieces of chocolate cake…everyday!”
According to child experts, this kind of imaginative play is very healthy for a ... - The Child Puppet Theater: The Perfect Pretend Play Toy
A puppet theater is one of the oldest toys in the world, but child experts believe that they beat many of the latest battery-operated gizmos. Puppet theaters were some of the more popular toys during the Roman civilization, and were used in old England in nurseries and town squares, where professional puppeteers would stage performances to the delight of the onlookers. And who hasn’t heard of the children’s classic Pinocchio, or the most famous puppet pair in the world, Punch... - Child Art Easel – A Special Place To Imagine And Create
“Look at what I drew, Mommy!”
A child art easel is the perfect addition to your child’s playroom. Allowing her the ability to show off her imaginative and creative side in her own space is a very important part of childhood development. Though a child art easel will not guarantee that your child’s art exhibit will move from the refrigerator to Christy’s Auction House, a child art easel will make it easier for your child to show off her budding talent. Therefore, a child ar... - Child Clothes Stand
Jackets on the floor, missing hats and mittens, and the raincoat that always disappears when it’s pouring outside and he’s about to miss the school bus…
Does this all sound familiar? The solution is pretty simple (in which we mean, it’s as pretty as it is simple): a child clothes stand.
Made at exactly a child’s height, they’re perfect for holding jackets, hats, and schoolbags. The moment they enter the door, they can hang their things (as opposed to dumping them on the... - The Child Playhouse: A Door To A Wonderful World
Child psychologists say that children need to have their own personal sanctuary—a place that they can call their own. While this doesn’t mean that they should get their own apartment (they can’t even reach the kitchen counter, much less make their own meals), they should have a place in the house where they can escape. This is their “private space”, where they feel safe and can retreat to if they need to be alone.
Why is this so important? According to child psychologists,... - Child Table And Chairs: Preparing A Special Work Area
Everyone needs a workspace—even kids, or actually, especially kids and a Child Table and Chair Set is the perfect workspace. They need a place where they can draw, write, paint, complete puzzles and crafts, answer an activity book. This is their work, because it’s only through play that they can learn.
That’s why a child table and chair set is as important in a nursery as a crib or a clothes drawer. While children aren’t fussy—they’ll play anywhere, and probably will—their... - A Child Bookshelf: A Treasury Of Tales
One of the greatest gifts you can give your children is a love for reading. When a child discovers the world of books, he has the tools to learn much more than letters. He can now find, in the pages, doorways to other places and other lives. He can be a king conquering a dragon. A spy saving the world. A boy magician, a bandit, an island castaway, a sheriff. He can be anything, and all he has to do is to take a book, and let his imagination take flight.
But before he devel... - Why Children Need A Child Desk
All child experts will tell you: one of the most important ways of encouraging your child’s interest in school is to set up his own study corner. Having a dedicated “learning area”—including a space to write and even his own Child Desk — encourages him to focus on his homework and even enjoy it. Here’s why:
No distractions
When a child shares a desk or a computer table with other people, other people or the things on the desk can easily distract him. For example, he may...
