I am a huge fan of learning toys. When I’m in the market to purchase games, toys, and other supplies or products, I tend to gravitate towards “learning” ones. Since kids enjoy playing, I love to know that there is an added element of learning involved. When it’s time to sit down for school work, there are days where my kids just can’t concentrate. Especially during those moments, I like have products on hand to help them switch gears. If we leave the table for 15 minutes and go play a game, work on puzzles, or even turn on the radio and dance with scarves or make music, the kids are able to regroup and come back with more focus. One company that I’ve found to carry some great learning products is Lakeshore Learning. I partnered with them in the past to bring you a review on their Self-Teaching Math Machines and Wild Animal Park. I was thrilled to partner with them again to bring you this review.
I was sent the Colorpillar Magnetic Maze and Classic Hardwood Learning Toys Complete Set from Lakeshore Learning. All four items are well made, “chunky” so they are easy for even the youngest players, colorful, and engaging. I really like that each one incorporates multiple ways to learn while the child is playing. They can sort by colors, by shapes, or by pattern. The quality of these Lakeshore Learning products is top notch. I also like that these puzzles help a child build their motor control and dexterity. The kids have been enjoying these new toys daily and don’t even realize that they are building skills and learning while they play.
As a parent, I am thrilled when our children receive gifts that incorporate learning and will be treasured and used for years to come. Be sure to check these out for the children on your shopping list this year.

I’m a city girl turned country by my awesome husband and we have three busy boys and two darling daughters. I love spending time with my family, reading Karen Kingsbury novels, and catching up with friends while our kiddos have play dates. I’m blessed beyond measure and can’t wait to see what God has in store.

Have not seen these before, with a 3 yr old I am sure he would love to play with them. I think these would help with fine motor skills. I like a lot of the wooden toys that are coming out.
