Unique Educational Toys

What makes an educational toy UNIQUE?

• Unique educational toys can't be found at giant "mart" stores...they're usually found at quaint little "mom and pop" toy stores and online boutiques.
• They are well-crafted, often from wood, and are made to withstand many hours of play.
• Unique educational toys are manufactured by smaller companies, and many are located in unique areas of the world such as Germany, France, Italy, and even USA (where it's become rare to still manufacture toys).
• These toys LOOK unique. Whether it's in the design or decorative colors, you can tell these toys are extra special.
• Most do not have batteries, so your child's brain must power the toy. Unique educational toys encourage children to actively think while playing, and a little creativity may be necessary.

Toddler Educational Toys

You're looking for toddler educational toys, but your toddler has a short attention span, so how can he/she learn anything?
No problem. Our toddler educational toys are designed so that toddlers can play with them in short sessions and still enhance skills. Depending on your toddler's level of development, you can focus on one section of the puzzle, a handful of blocks or beads, or just a few counting/stacking pegs while playing with toddler educational toys.
Toddler educational toys help enhance your toddlers fine motor skills, problem solving strategies, spatial understanding, and basic number and letter concepts. Top selling toddler educational toys include our wooden alphabet blocks, stacking/counting peg sets, and alphabet magnets. Many of our toddler educational toys are Made in USA...see the product descriptions for this information, or shop our Made in USA section of our educational toy store.

Preschool Educational Toys

Ah, to be a preschooler again...brimming with energy, curious about everything, and a little more patience than a toddler...this is the perfect age to introduce your child to preschool educational toys!
Our preschool educational toys are geared for children between ages 3 and 6 who are eager to learn and have an attention span long enough for extended play (more than five or ten minutes). In our educational toy store, we have a great selection of preschool educational toys from outstanding companies like Lauri Toys and Dowling Magnets. Introduce number and letter concepts with our learning center kits, magnetic playsets and educational puzzles. Practice counting, hand-eye coordination, and stacking with our peg building sets.
