Educational Toys and Games

Research has shown time and time again that the rate and efficiency of learning among children is far greater when they are having fun. Our fantastic educational toys and games are designed to support all aspects of your child’s learning and development whilst having so much fun they won’t even realise it.

The benefits of creative play are endless – they help children build intellectual curiosity, develop critical thinking and fine motor skills and promote emotional wellbeing though expression of thoughts, feelings and emotions. At Great Gizmos we have a wide variety of toys, games and kits that both encourage and reward creativity – whilst being great fun of course! Our Green Creativity Kits from 4M allow children to experiment with a variety of art and crafts whilst learning about the environment and the importance of recycling.

For the budding Scientist we offer a fantastic range of Science Kits from 4M and The Science Museum that are designed to encourage proactive learning through experimenting with a wide variety of sciences in a safe, fun and engaging environment. In addition to educating children about biology, physics and chemistry our ever-popular Green Science Kits also teach children about important environmental issues such as clean alternative sources of energy, recycling and sustainability.

For more imaginative science play our robotics kits are great entertainment and teach children about basic electronics, physics and anatomy, whilst our fantastic spy kits provide an introduction to security and forensic science. For children of all ages our glow in the dark toys provide a novel way of learning about astronomy and the solar system – whilst adding a touch of sparkle to their bedrooms at nighttime.

Children everywhere have always been fascinated with dinosaurs, which is why our superb range of Natural History Museum Kits are so popular. Educating children about Earth’s history, archaeology and excavation as well as the science behind these magnificent creatures has never been so enjoyable. For developing more practical ‘hands on’ skills, our construction toys include everything from colourful building blocks for younger children to detailed models and mechanical toy cars for children in their later years.

Not forgetting the ‘Three R’s’, our Numbers & Letters Toys and Maths Games are ideal for giving children that little head start at school with their basic numeracy and literacy skills. For younger children, our Early Years educational toys including musical and food games are designed to stimulate the senses and provide basic word association, memory, language and counting skills.
