An educational toy can be anything that provides knowledge and develops skills for learning. Books, games, toys or animated movies are some examples of educational toys. A few toys that children enjoy are organic stuffed animals, dolls, block-games, cars and wooden toys. These toys are carefully designed and crafted to help shape young minds.

There are educational toys available on the market for all age groups. There are certain criteria to understand before buying any educational toy. The age of the child is of foremost importance. A one year old who is given blocks of numbers to play with will only shake or throw them, not understanding the potential for learning numbers. There is an orderly sequence of physiological and physical growth in children and educational toys have to be bought based on this sequence.
