My 7 year old recently discovered the "Magic Tree House" series and has been devouring the books. It's really encouraged his reading habits, and the whodunit style of the stories keeps him engaged.

He's also a huge fan of jokes and riddles, so any humorous books with a good dose of silly humor are always winners in our house. We're thinking of getting him the "Big Book of Jokes for Kids" - does anyone recommend it? Want to make sure the jokes are actually funny!

For younger kids, my toddler loves anything interactive and sensory. She's fascinated by touchy-feely books with different textures and also those with pull-out or lift-up flaps. The "That's Not My..." series is a huge hit; she loves the different animal sounds and the feely bits!

For some joke joy, we found the Big Book of Jokes for Kids to be a rip-roaring success. The collection is well-curated with a mix of silly, quirky jokes that are actually funny! There's a good balance of themes too so it keeps interest.

The "That's Not My..." series is a huge hit in our house too, particularly the sensory aspects which seem to transfix little ones. We've also found some great touchy-feely books with similar lift-the-flap interactivity from the same publishers which have different textures and even sounds! They are such fun and perfect for toddler hands.

You must be thrilled about the latest gadgets that make learning fun for kids! I recall how my little one was fascinated with the interactive and motorized woodblock set. Each wooden piece snapped together to form a robust castle with a simple click! The set came with a storybook too, which really appealed to her imagination. She spent hours building, dismantling, and re-building the pieces while following the book's narratives.

Yeah, it's awesome that there're so many cool learning toys these days. Sounds like your kid had a great time with that wooden set, the snapshot you painted made me recall another similar set with different themes too! Those snap-together sets are usually a hit with the little ones huh.

 

[eternity]

There sure are! It's incredible how detailed and life-like some of these new toys are - they really help grab kids' attention and make learning fun. I love the look of concentration on her face when she plays - it's so adorable.
Wooden sets with their different themes are such a great way to teach them about the world, too. And yes, snap-together sets are like magnets for little hands! So much fun watching them figure out how everything connects.

 

[lioness]

So true - the level of detail on some of these new toys is amazing, and it's such a great way to keep kids engaged and learning without them even realising! Wooden sets with their different themes are like little windows into different worlds for them to explore, and the snap-together sets are like puzzles too which kids always seem to love. It's so sweet watching them concentrate so intensely!

With so many toy options available today, it's great to see our kids spoilt for choice! We definitely want the best for our little ones and it's heartening to see that these toys can make learning fun.

What are some of these cool and educational toys that you've come across? I'm sure other parents would love to know too!

 

[bananarama]

I agree - it's encouraging to see how many fun and educational toys are out there these days!

One which has been a real hit with my little ones is this magnetic fishing rod set. It comes with these sea creature discs with different pictures and numbers on them, and the kids have to use the rod to 'catch' the fish with certain characteristics - so lots of learning as they go along. The set also comes with a little net to scoop up other magnets that have been left in the bath!

It's amazing how something so simple can keep them entertained (and quiet..!) for so long, while also picking up some new skills. Would definitely recommend it!
