The Best Travel Toys for Toddlers

Toddlers are notoriously hard to entertain on a long trip. They do not have the attention span for movies, cannot read, find it impossible to sit still, and, despite what the toy companies want you to believe, there is no fail safe travel toy that will entertain a toddler (or any child) for hours on end. So what is a parent to do? The key to entertaining toddlers on a long journey is distraction.

Instead of trying to find that perfect toy, pack a variety of simple toys that, combined with imagination, can be used in a variety of ways. Think quality - you want enough toys to be able to swap out often.

Before the trip, create a toddler activity kit containing a variety of age appropriate toys. Things like stacking cups, links, cars, puzzles and chunky crayons are all good choices. Finger puppets and small animals are fun for playing let's pretend and engaging your child for slightly longer periods of time. Think outside the box as you are selecting toys. For example, squeeze toys are always fun in the bathtub but they are perfect for creating a distraction. Puff some air in a toddler's hair or on their arm and you immediately get their attention. In desperate times you can even fill one with water and watch the giggles start.

Use your toy assortment wisely. Pull out the first thing and if it doesn't capture their attention immediately, put it away and try something else. Use toys in unusual or unexpected ways. For example, a large stacking cup can become a hat. Lastly, do not wait until they get bored with a toy to introduce a new one. Gradually transition between toys - it makes both items last a little bit longer.

The best travel toy for toddlers is a well stocked activity bag that allows you to continually distract them. With a little imagination, you might even enjoy the trip.

Squinkie Toys

If you love Squinkies then you're going to love this article! We're going to review some of the hottest Squinkie toys this year. If you don't know what Squinkies are then allow me to explain. Squinkies are simply little plastic toys in the form of cute puppies, kitties, and people. They're actually one of the hottest toys of 2010. Squinkies were made popular by a group of mommy bloggers who just found the toys adorable. If you're interested in starting your own Squinkie collection then you might want to start with these toys.

Squinkie Cupcake Surprise Bake Shop

The Squinkies Cupcake Surprise bake shop is the only bakery in the world of squinkies. The toy includes nine squinkies and a miniature bake shop for fun! This is actually one of the cutest toys that we've ever seen. The toy includes many different accessories like cakes, chairs, and beds. If you're a squinkie fan then the bakery is one of the must have accessories.

Keep in mind that squinkie toys are extremely small and not appropriate for kids of all ages. The reason being is that kids sometimes have a tendency of putting toys in their mouths. However, if you're kid is that magical age when they know better than the bakeshop is one of the must-have squinkie accessories. We actually didn't mention it above but squinkies come in a "bubble" that they live in. The bake shop includes a slot just like a gumball machine that will dispense your squinkie toys. It's too cute to be true!

Squinkies Gumball Surprise Playhouse

As we mentioned above Squinkies live in bubble balls. Which is exactly why a gumball machine would be the perfect place to store your Squinkies. The Squinkie gumball machine features a working gumball machine. All you have to do is insert a coin in the slot and then turn the dial. The gumball machine will then eject one of your many squinkies. Of course you don't have to take the time to do that. You could always open the top and take as many squinkies as you like.

The Squinkies gumball machine also features side panels that can be folded out to reveal a house for your squinkies. The house includes a different furniture like a gold fish, television, and lawn chair. Overall this is actually one of our favorite squinkie accessories for those moms out there who love Squinkies as much as we do.

Squinkies Shopping Fun Surprise

This toy is exclusively for those little girls out there who love shopping! This accessory is actually a small purse that includes a couple of cute squinkies with them. One of the squinkies included is a cute little girl who's just adorable. One top of that you'll also get a top hat and a cute little doggie. This is the perfect squinkie accessory for all those little divas out there.

The purse comes with a cute design with a blue and purple color scheme. The purse also has a huge purple amethyst (plastic) on it. With this toy your wonderful little girl will never have to shop alone again. All she'll have to do is bring along her cute little purse with her wherever she goes! Out of all the accessories we're going to mention in this article this one is actually the best bargain.

Squinkie Doo Salon

Squinkies need haircuts too right? With this toy you'll get the ultimate hair grooming salon in all of America. The salon follows the same theme as the majority of accessories in this list. By that we mean the top is actually a gumball machine that houses your squinkies. Just like the other toys you insert a coin included with the set to eject your squinkies.

However the difference in this toy is that it features a salon and a couple of the only squinkies with crazy hair cuts! The two squinkies included have two of the craziest hair styles that we've ever seen. Some of the accessories included with this toy include the blow dryer and mirror. Personally I would recommend buying this set for a little girl. After all what little girl doesn't like grooming?

Squinkies Tea Time Surprise

How would your kids like to have their very own tea time with their favorite toys? With this set you'll be given the cute tea time surprise accessory. Like all of the accessories we mentioned before it follows the same theme. Except the gumball machine portion is in the shape of a tea pot. On top of that it includes cute cups of tea for those little kids who just love playing tea time.

Some of the accessories included in this set are the bumble bee, a few girls, bunny, and the tea pot. In total the tea time supirse accessory can hold up to seven of your favorite squinkies. As you can tell the majority of the squinkies accessories are practically the same.

Squinkies Palace Surprise

The last recommendation we're going to make is the squinkies palace surprise. This is actually one of the only toys on this list that doesn't fit into the entire gumball machine. When we saw this toy it actually reminded us of a layer cake. This toy is specifically for showing off your squinkies collection.

We haven't mentioned it yet but each squinkie includes a hole in the bottom that can be fitted onto pencils and pens. What this toy does is include a bunch of studs that allows you to display for squinkies. The toy can hold a total of 96 different squinkies.

5 Great Educational Toys

Everyone knows that children learn by play. So it stands to reason that we all want our children to get the most out of their play. There are many great toys around, and so why not combine a great toy that kids love with a learning tool.

Here are five great educational toys for children and why they are so good for your kids

1) Wooden Blocks

Wooden blocks have been around for ever and there is a simple reason for that, children love them. Kids of all ages and genders love playing with wooden blocks.

They are great learning toys for kids because they teach them about:



Shapes: blocks come in a variety of shapes with flat surfaces for stacking, arches, cubes, pyramids and domes.



Feel: wooden blocks aren't cold or too hard to the touch. Wood is soft, and won't do much damage in an accident.



Colours: wooden blocks are usually multi coloured. This gives a parent the opportunity to teach a child about colours and for a child to enjoy the beauty of colours.



Fine motor skills: a child will learn how to handle blocks, as they grow older, they will learn to stack them and line them up. The older they get, the higher their towers, bridges and cities grow.



Cognitive skills: Some children might like to sort blocks into groups of colour or shape or size. A parent can also introduce a child to discover this recognition of groups and like items using simple blocks.



Imagination: A child can build anything with blocks; their imagination is their only limitation. Blocks provide a great outlet for children exercise their imagination.

2) Puzzles

Puzzles teach children so many wonderful skills. There are puzzles suitable for all ages and levels, from two and three piece sets to multi piece, more difficult ones.



Cognitive Skills: A child will learn how pieces can fit together to make a whole and how to find and place these pieces. Some puzzles use simple shapes to create an image or shapes to fit a board, or cubes to form a picture but most puzzles are complex images on irregular shapes that come together to form an intricate picture.



Fine Motor Skills: Little fingers will gain pleasure from fitting into position these simple shapes. Smaller pieces will make this more challenging as they get older.



Patience and Social Skills: A child can learn patience from puzzles as they take time to master, and learning to take turns build better social skills.

3) Books

Children will learn many things from books that will serve them well into their older years. They learn about allegory, rhyme, rhythm and repetition. They learn listening skills and observation skills. Eventually they will learn reading skills but most importantly reading to your children provides them special time with their parent or loved ones.

4) Shape Sorter

Shaper sorters provide a child with many hours of entertainment and provide them with an opportunity to practice their fine motor skills, by fitting pieces into holes and cognitive skills by learning to recognise the different shapes and visual skills by learning about different colours.

Learning to take turns with siblings and friends teaches children important social and negotiation skills.

5) Role Play

Toys like doll houses, pirate ships, shops, garages or castles that consist of perhaps vehicles, dolls, people and various items will help to teach your child role play. Role playing, is when the child uses their imagination to create characters and a story using props. Boys might prefer cars and fire engines or pirate ships, and girls might prefer dolls and shops.

Kids toys so often combine fun with learning, and it is not hard to find the toy for the right time for your child to actively learn about their world.

Educational Toys Are Important For Infants

Every child has an instinct to learn, as evidenced by his or her ability to act like a sponge to every idea and visual stimulus that crosses his or her path. Because of this, people who say that play has no value whatsoever are eating their words right now. Toys and play, even experts say, play vital parts in children's learning and discovery.

Kids' development and learning abilities vary. Some might already be walking at just nine months, while some children learn late and start at only about two years old. There is nothing unusual about this. There are children that are adept at a particular thing, while other kids are more proficient at another.

What is common to all children, nevertheless, is the fact that they are all naturally born curious about the world around them. Babies, in particular, are ultimate learning sponges because they start out with a clean slate. We should, therefore, never be annoyed at kids who always ask the question "why", as this is an indication of their interest to learn new things and wonder about their environment.

And because infants are the best teaching subjects, great pains have been undergone to develop educational toys that would enhance their sponge-like abilities. Learning starts at home. It is the responsibility of parents and the people that surround infants to make sure these formative years are maximized by exposing their children to toys and things that would encourage and feed their hunger for knowledge.

Toys are what children almost always interact with, and exposing them to a number of well-chosen educational toys will boost their individual growth.

As parents and adults who choose these toys, however, we must realize that educational toys are made according to a child's age and learning pace. Thus, we must only purchase and gift toys that are appropriate for the kid we are giving it to, otherwise, our purpose of teaching and instilling knowledge will be defeated.

Infants, in particular, because their sensory abilities are not as developed as toddlers yet, need toys that stimulate their hearing, touch and sight. Strong contrasting colors and soft colorful objects and toys are best for babies to help them with their hand-eye coordination. Therefore, just when we think that these soft balls do nothing for infants, we need to think again. Any toy that stimulates infants' senses is considered educational.
