What Age Is The Most Critical For Brain Development Of Your Child?
Before we take a look at the list of affordable educational toys for kids. Let’s go through something important.
Researchers say age 2-7 is the most critical for child’s brain development! Children’s brain can exceptionally absorb information during this critical phase. They are always curious, trying to explore things around them.
A child never stops exhibiting curiosity and asking questions in search of answers. My 5year old toddler never stops asking questions, be it any time of the day and my 1.2 year old wants to grab everything at his sight.
How Does The Child Learn? What Role Do Educational Toys for kids Play?
Well, children learn in many different ways. Each child is unique and has his/her own way of learning. Some learn through asking questions, some want to explore objects around them and some just like watching everything that’s happening around them to grasp information. We have to understand that at various stage and age these traits evolve.
So we as parents need to understand their style of learning and encourage them in what they feel is comfortable. Thus enhancing and optimising their absorbing power.

When Albert Einstein was a child his language development was delayed. To an extent that his parents consulted a doctor. But inspite of potential development delays he went on to become as we all know today the great “Einstein”
Although worried his parents were, but they never pushed him beyond his learning capabilities. Instead gifted him something very invaluable when he was 5 years of age. His father gifted him a compass and little later his pianist mother gifted him a violin. These two gifts opened up his brain to a whole new learning perspective!
