When I can find toys that kids love to play with that are also educational, I view that as a real win-win. SmartLab Toys offers unique toys that are primarily science or art based that are fun but also educational.
I was recently sent an Amazing Squishy T-Rex set which is fun for kids because it’s squishy (almost slimy feeling but not quite) but it’s also really educational because it’s an anatomically correct. It also comes with a 24 page book that helps further the educational experience. There are 5 squishy parts, 6 bone pieces and 3 muscles. This would be great for kids interested in Dinosaurs, animal anatomy or just anatomy in general. The set is geared at kids ages 7+, but I think that younger kids could really enjoy and appreciate this set as well. I think they can learn from it as well, but older kids would absorb more knowledge from the set. I know that my 4 year old nephew is really interested in dinosaurs and would like this set despite being a bit young for it.
For kids interested in human anatomy, SmartLab toys also offers other squishy sets like squishy human body, squishy brain, and squishy science from head to toe. These are great tools for teaching anatomy to call kids but especially for visual learners. It can be really hard to visualize internal organs and such from just a graphic representation in a book. Having body parts that you can see, feel and hold makes them more realistic and understandable. For kids interested in Dinosaurs, their It’s Alive! T. rex set is great because it lets you create a dinosaur fossil that walks.
The SmartLab Toys website also has a free zone section with fun trivia, printable coloring pages and activity pages as well.
