Growing Tree Toys: Great Source for Educational Toys

0 Comments 26 November 2009

I have a blast shopping fogrowing tree toysr toys and games for my kids for the holidays. It’s a great excuse to get the latest and greatest for them. However, I do make an effort to mix in at least a few educational toys so they can learn while playing. Growing Tree Toys has an amazing selection of toys and games for your kids – and many of them look so fun that your wee ones won’t even realize they’re learning.

Make Your Own Sock Puppets

We received the Make Your Own Sock Puppets Kit by Creativity for Kids from Growing Tree Toys. It’s a fun set that includes 3 super fuzzy and soft socks and lots and lots of self-adhesive accessories likes googly eyes, feathers, and felt shapes. The Make Your Own Sock Puppets activity has many developmental benefits: Physical, Logical, Spatial, Intrapersonal and Verbal. The finished product also encourages Creative, Dramatic and Manipulative play.

Make Your Own Sock Puppets

Toddler Boy had a great time making puppets with me and his grandmother. We did lots of silly, imaginative talking about our puppets when we were decorating them, which is good, because he’s not quite as into actually playing with them now that they’re finished. The accessories and decorations included in the Kit are great – very colorful and there were tons of them. Our puppets didn’t look quite as cute as those on the box, but we had fun nonetheless.  I admit that I am not at all crafty so a Kit like this is perfect for me because it contains EVERYTHING you need to make your puppets.

To Buy or Not to Buy

To Buy… Shopping at GrowingTreeToys.com couldn’t be easier – you can shop by age group, type of toy or brand. And I love that each toy description includes information about its developmental benefits and the types of play it encourages. Not to mention the fact that many of the toys are very affordable.

Or Not to Buy… The only thing I don’t like about the Make Your Own Sock Puppet Kit is that once you decorate, you’re done decorating. And, obviously you can play with your puppets when you’re done, but since Toddler Boy prferred the decorating it would be fun to be able to do it over and over again.

Shop! If you want to throw some educational toys in the mix this holiday season, check out the amazing selection at Growing Tree Toys. The Make Your Own Puppet Kit is $17.95, and get FREE UPS SHIPPING on orders over $75. Plus, keep your eye on the Deal of the Day where one toy is 40 – 60% off every day.
