LearningRx Builds the Smart Mom's Toy Box: 25 Brain-Building Toys & Games Under $20
(PRWEB) December 03, 2014 -- For parents in search of toys that are both fun and educational, brain training company LearningRx has put together “The Smart Mom’s Toy Box.” The toys have all been selected by Dr. Toy (Stevanne Auerbach) for inclusion in her Magic Toy Box (http://www.magictoybox.org), and every toy is under $20. Her Magic Toy Box is a collection of handpicked educational, development, and skill-building products that have made one of her four annual award programs, including Best Vacation Toys, Best Green Toys, Best Classic Toy, and Best Toys for that year.
“Parents don’t need to break the bank to get quality toys that build cognitive skills,” says Tanya Mitchell of LearningRx Colorado Springs. "All of the toys in the Smart Mom’s Toy Box cost less than $20 and you can help strengthen a child’s processing speed by using a stopwatch for certain activities. These 25 games have been chosen for their educational benefits; they help strengthen a variety of cognitive skills—like memory, auditory and visual processing, attention, processing speed, and logic & reasoning—which are the essential tools needed to learn, memorize, process, and recall information. But to kids—they’re just fun toys!”
Here’s a sample of some items from "The 2014 Smart Mom's Toy Box”:
1. Classic Peg Game by ToySmith ($2.99)
Jump pegs, removing them as you go, with a goal to get down to just one remaining peg.
Cognitive skills: logic & reasoning, planning, strategy, attention
2. Show Me the Kwan by Griddly Games ($19.99)
