Toys play a great role in every child's life. They are necessary for physical, intellectual, and emotional development. In MySmartToys online store we propose you a wide selection of wooden toys and puzzles that help children to get the best start in their life. Our wooden toys will encourage a child in the following vital areas of brain development:

Problem Solving

Problem solving wooden toys help children to develop a goal-achieving skills and gain confidence in their ability to do something by themselves.
Problem solving is what we do every day. Children who play with toys that require problem solving learn how to figure out solutions, develop curiosity, patience, “thinking” skills, and ability to play with others. The ability to solve also builds self-esteem and self-confidence.

Creativity

Creativity is another way of problem solving that is unique and effective, the ability to see things in a new and unusual way.
Creative wooden toys and puzzles help children enhance their senses by exploring shape, color and form encouraging them to look and touch. Thus, children learn more about world around them. Bright toys attract children’s attention and stimulate their intellectual development.

Hand-to-eye coordination

Wooden toys that encourage hand-to-eye coordination help children to confront what see their eyes with what do their hands. This way, young kids try to use their hands to effectively execute the task. Hand-to-eye coordination is very important in child’s everyday life. Peg puzzles, chunky puzzles, blocks and other toys stimulate hand to eye coordination and improve grasping, tracing and stacking skills.

Learning to read and write

Wooden toys that involve the task to match letters or pictures with letters are great for learning to read. Reading books with them, matching letters, playing with chunky letters, etc., force kids to read by themselves. Although each child is ready to read in his own age that is always different from one child to another, playing with toys that stimulates reading brings lots of fun to a child.

Writing is another skill that starts to develop some time before a child is ready to write his first word. With writing children are able to express themselves and succeed at school. Good writing skills start to develop years before a child writes their first words. Usually at the age of three or four children’s writing abilities start to develop. At this time, such toys as pattern blocks, ABC books, alphabet puzzles and others are very useful.

Fine motor skills

Fine motor skills help children to use their hands for precise movements with low amplitude. In the human brain the centers responsible for speech and movement of the fingers are very close to each other. By stimulating fine motor skills and enhancing the corresponding sections of the brain, we also activate the adjacent zones that are responsible for speech. This way, fine motor skills play the leading role in learning to write, to speak, to draw, etc. Wooden toys that encourage fine motor skills are puzzles, books, play food, etc.

Coordination

Wooden toys that develop coordination learn them to judge distances, be precise, accurate, and self-confident. Wooden toys that encourage young children to stack, pound, match, all help their coordination to develop.
