Back To School Toy Guide For Teachers!

Back to school season is officially here!  And while kids nationwide aren't throwing any back to school parades anytime soon, teachers can prepare for that exciting first day with charming educational technology and toys to fill their classrooms.

Educational games like eeBoo's Spanish and French Bingo features whimsical illustrations that appeal to young children.  This inspires them to learn the basic Spanish and French vocabulary, while playing a fun, challenging game with their friends.

Magnetic wooden responsibility charts are a fun, interactive way to instill good work ethic in children, which crosses over into their at-home responsibilities as well; like doing their homework, washing the dishes, cleaning their rooms, and helping out the neighbors.

Preschool teachers have a lot of great PreK educational toys from wooden toy makers, Plan Toys, Hape, and Melissa & Doug.  It's always good to have imaginative toys on hand for recess or play time; play food sets like the basic four food groups, pizza party food, sandwich making kits, and popular cutting food sets are great for bringing kids together and inspiring creative ideas and storytelling!

Adding both colorful wooden block sets, as well as plain all-natural wood building blocks, to a preschool classroom can really motivate kids to explore early architectural ideas, creative planning, and their own imaginative ideas.  Natural wooden pieces are a signature part of any Waldorf Education inspired classroom too, as well as Waldorf-style soft dolls, brilliant imaginative play silks, and European made art supplies; such as all-natural modeling beeswax, crayons, and poster paints by Stockmar.


Any of these educational toys also make wonderful presents to give that favorite school teacher in your life.

And not so fast teachers, we have another blog post on the horizon about the benefits of cooperative games too.  So stay tuned for more!
