When choosing the best toys for your classroom or for your child at home, remember that simple is best. Children will learn better in an environment that is not cluttered with toys, but instead in a space that is clean, simple, and with room for their imaginations. Here are top picks for learning toys for preschoolers. When creating this list we focused on every area of learning and the best toys for every preschool classroom, daycare or homeschool!
Wooden Blocks
Wooden blocks are wonderful for preschool building centers. This is the ultimate for open-ended play. Children are free to use their imaginations and creativity. Wooden blocks can also be used in a number of ways to practice shapes, colors, counting and more.
Pretend Play Toys
With Pretend Play Toys children will enjoy feeling like they are really working as a doctor or vet! This makes for a super simple dramatic play center and will make for hours of learning and fun.
Puzzles
Wooden blocks puzzles that are great for little hands. The pieces make for fun figurines as well for imaginary play as well. Learning Kids has the most beautiful puzzles! Our favorites include the Search and Find Puzzles, My Very Long Puzzles, and Geography Puzzles.
Cooperative Board Games
Cooperative games teach team play and there are no winners or losers, the group wins or loses as a whole instead of individually. This idea is wonderful for preschoolers who are still learning important skills like teamwork, sharing and cooperating.
Magnetic Letters
These letters are perfect for letter recognition and pre-reading. We also like to use these for name practice, sight words work. This is a great kit because it includes multiple of each letter which makes spelling out words a lot easier.
Train Set
We all know that play is the most important thing a preschooler can do. They use their imaginations to put themselves in real life “grown up” scenarios which prepare them for those situations later in life. We like to have as many pretend play sets around as we can to be able to switch them out from time to time. This train set is simple and offers hours of pretend play fun!
