Toys and growth

Currently, both educators As child psychologists and pedagogues, they agree on the importance that the activity of playing has for the development of the child in all its areas: affective, intellectual, creative, social and physical. Playing is a voluntary, pleasurable and recreational activity present in all human cultures as a natural childhood activity, but it is also an essential complement to the child's learning and training.

If the game is an activity key in childhood, vital for the correct development of the child, the toy is the instrument and the support for most games. At Educa, they believe that toys should fulfill the double function of entertaining and contributing to this development, and they design their products with this in mind.

Development of intelligence

Toys in which the child assembles and disassembles its components help develop the capacity for analysis and synthesis, and motivate the child to think about the objects around him, with which he takes his first steps towards reasoning. In addition, every time they play with these elements, children try to improve and improve themselves, thus perfecting their intellectual skills. The wide variety of puzzles from Educa, the many matching games and memory games are ideal for this.

One of the fundamental aspects of childhood is the need to express oneself, to unleash one's imaginative capacity. By encouraging his creativity, the child develops a powerful weapon to respond to the challenges that the world will pose throughout his life. The "Magic Art" collection is ideal for encouraging this creativity.

Development of sensory abilities

Toys based on the association of colors and shapes help to perfect the child's sensory abilities , which learns the similarities and differences between objects through material, color and shape. To develop this aspect, Educa has a wide variety of dominoes, matching games and puzzles.

Discovery and knowledge of the environment

Thus, through photographs, drawings and activities, the boy or girl discovers the animals, the weather, the hours, the letters of the alphabet, the numbers, etc. These games thus become essential allies for educators and parents in the education of children, because thanks to them children learn in a fun way and internalize concepts naturally.
