Educational Wooden Toys: Its Benefits to Enjoy
It is now an accepted fact that imaginative and creative play is an essential part of a young child’s learning, emotional and psychological development. Not only does it provide fun and engagement but it also expands upon their personality traits, helping them to realize their potential, giving them the opportunity to experience the joy and satisfaction that comes with being good or successful at something.
Along with this, it opens them up to a world of possibility that imaginative and creative, aiding them along in their speech, reading, thinking, problem solving and motor skills development. By trying to make sense of the world around them, playing also forms an integral part of facilitating a child’s ability to manage their emotions and appreciating cause and effect. These are the very reasons why it is important to choose the right creative toys for your children.
Since all children are natural learners, they are constantly developing and realizing their own potential through new experiences that they encounter in their everyday lives. Therefore, every experience they have is vital to expanding their capabilities. A variety of well chosen toys certainly helps towards each child’s individual growth. As children grow and mature, their needs change and adapt to their environment with differing abilities and interests.
One sets of toys that have many benefits for children of a young age are the popular educational wooden toys because these toys help to enhance a child’s hand dexterity and shape recognition and provide open-ended thinking potential that stretches and challenges their creativity and capacity for learning.
Wooden blocks (similar to the infamous Lego construction) is a classic example of educational wooden toys that have been around, for good reason, for many decades. With wooden blocks, a child can learn to construct almost any structure that comes to mind. Construction toys of this nature will open a child’s mind, during their crucial young learning phase, to endless possibility.
During a child’s development, young children, around 2-3 years of age enjoy imaginative or role play, usually interacting with other children of their own age, teaching them to develop social and speech skills. By the time their they get to 4-5 years their play becomes more cognitive which involves thinking, problem solving and decision making. This is the perfect time to introduce pre-school age children to arts and crafts materials, Lego, construction toys and puzzles.
A young child should never be structured in their play, but instead by allowed their own freedom of ideas to mess things, break things and make their own mistakes and creations without retribution or fear of failure.

My son got this for his 7th birthday, and 18 months on still loves it! I highly recommend it as it has kept him busy for hours on end. We will now be getting him Cars and Boats for Xmas

My son who is 8 loves this toy. He spends hours experimenting with different circuits. His brother who is 5 also enjoys connecting the pieces togerther and trying to make the lights or sirens work. I don’t think they can understand the principles of connecting circuits in series or parallel but it doesn’t seem to matter

We received the Primary Kit with some other Cambridge BrainBox Kits as a Present.
This company seem to have two different size Kits for the 8 to 13 age level.
They charge £14.99 for the Primary Kit which includes 100 experiments
whereas the £29.99 Primary Plus Kit includes 500 experiments.
Anyway on to the Primary Kit which cost us £14.99 – it came in a large box with enough parts to construct over 100 experiments.
The parts were brightly coloured and number coded – which really did help us in the construction – and the bits seemed to be strong.
We have tried 2 of the kits now and my kids think that they are playing a game and having fun,
but at the same time they have been learning about Electronics. This is certainly easier than trying to get them to do their homework.
The Primary Kit is designed to teach children the basic principles of electricity and electronics.
It covers the requirements of the Science National Curriculum at Key Stages 1 & 2 with links to Design and Technology and adds many extra exciting experiments for good measure!
We experimented with controlling how to make lamps get brighter and got a motor working. Building the flying fan was great fun.
But the kids made a bit too much noise experimenting with electronic sirens.
We had to steer them to some of the quieter projects like building Electric Circuits, Light Emitting Diodes, Learning about different types of Switches and experimenting with Conductors and Insulators. We are now moving on to Series and Parallel Circuits
The teacher at our local school loves these kits because they teach at Key Stage level and are linked to the National Curriculum.
All of our family seem to have enjoyed using this kit so we would definitely recommend it.
Well done to Cambridge BrainBox who seem to have developed a good range of products
and the prices seem very reasonable considering how much content there is in the box.
Once you have bought the Primary Kit you will soon want the Primary Plus Kit because it has 500 experiments.
Its great fun using these kits and you learn lots while you are doing it – be careful as they do become addictive.
We had never previously heard about BrainBox until we saw it on Amazon.
We will certainly be recommending this range to our friends.

My 5 year old was given this as a present and he loves it. He very quickly worked out that you need to have a complete circuit and he happily makes different circuits to do different things. With a bit of explanation he understands what is going on so can trouble shoot on his own. It is so easy to pop together that there is no reason why younger children cannot benefit – particularly with a bit of adult help.

My son got this from his grandmother last birthday (age 6) and has played and played with it. It comes with an easy to follow set of plans for instant gratification…loud noises, dramatic flight of a spinning disc and lights flashing but has spent hours creating his own circuits. Well worth the money and far better value than some available at 2 and 3 times the price. Definately recommended for little boys with active minds!
