Game night!  It's a great way to bond with your kids and show them how much fun learning can be.  Children learn and model themselves after the people they are closest too.  Encourage your child's love of games and learning through these games.

Teach your child about the world!

GeoSafari Talking Globe Interactive geography quiz game with dazzling lights and sound effects to guide, reward, and excite!

An essential toy for any child.  This adds another element to creative play in that it also includes Legos.  There are so many opportunities for learning with a play house.  And yes, even boys should have one too.  Young children can be encouraged to speak for the people and role play.  Language concepts such as pronouns (I, you, yours, mine, his/hers, he/she), spatial concepts (upstairs, downstairs), and so much more are easily worked in to play with this toy.

This toy is a great companion to the play food seen on this site.  Play cash registers encourage children to learn early money skills and some simple math skills.  This is great for creative play and language skills. 

Interactive electronic mat jump-starts active learning! Mat teaches children about colors, shapes and animal sounds while strengthening gross motor skills and developing deductive reasoning abilities.

A fun interactive way to encourage children to learn their letters and their sounds.  Once children master naming their letters, you can use this mat to teach them the sounds that go with the letter.  Use the matt to challenge the kids to throw a bean bag on the letter that makes the 'k' sound, etc.  When the child is older, you can use the mat to spell out words even.  Many many ways to play!

Excellent toy for early reading!  My son has spent hours playing with this toy on our refrigerator and sings the little tune that goes along with the letters.  I can't say enough about this toy!  Read on...

Thomas & Friends Station Stop matching game is a fun yet challenging game to help improve your child's memory and attention...

My son had an older version of this toy and I have to give this toy credit for his learning his letters by the age of two.  This is a great simple toy to encourage early reading skills as well as fine motor.  This is also a great toy to take on trips in the car or to allow the child to play in his/her bed before bedtime to calm down.  I highly recommended this toy as a speech pathologist and a mother! 

This game encourages expressive language skills, word finding skills, and reading.  Kids have fun all at the same time... read on.
