Educational Toys for 4-year-olds

Being 4 years old is arguably the best time of a child’s life. They are just about to start school. They can run and jump, they can carry a conversation, and they are learning new words and numbers and things all the time. The amount of information a 4-year-old vacuums up into their minds is incredible, and being able to fill their imaginations with educational toys for 4-year-olds is a must.  

Boost their confidence through learning with word games, building games, and puzzles.  Feed their play and imagination with a treehouse playset or an animal vet playset too.  They can learn about animals in the sea or beasts of the African savannah with these stackable wooden toy animals.

Get them excited about learning and knowing everything! Feed their vibrant minds with toys from My Happy Helpers.

Educational Toys for 5-year-olds

Boisterous 5-year-olds are complex little people. They understand feelings but might not be able to express them. Their brains are becoming complex, needing more demanding stimuli, such as a good puzzle or a challenging building activity. The educational toys for 5-year-olds that My Happy Helpers have can help navigate this transition into school life.

Their imaginations are growing wilder, and they now have more chances to learn social interactions through play. Dinosaur games or castle playsets allow for shared story experiences.  There is a lot you can give your 5-year-olds to encourage a joy of learning and creating. My Happy Helpers is always here to feed your child’s mind and help them develop into bright young adults.

My Happy Helpers has a superb range of mathematical toys for kids to get their teeth into.  Colourful counting games, a traditional abacus too! We have a tree counting set that allows children to learn to count with abstract objects, not just wooden numbers.

To take counting to the next level, try some Cuisenaire Learning Rods.  Maths can be fun, and counting can be enjoyable. With My Happy Helpers, your children will be many times in front of the curve by the time they enter school.

Language and Alphabet Toys

Playing with letters and words helps children understand how language works, how sentences work, and sparks joy in spelling and talking. We have an extraordinary array of language and alphabet toys for your kids to wrap their minds around.

They can learn how to craft letters with a wooden tracing board of the alphabet play with and arrange letters with a letter disk game. Each disk has a letter, upper case on one side, lowercase on the other.  Combine words and pictures with our Animal Alphabet Flash Card game or build language and geography skills with our maps and flag games.

With My Happy Helpers, your child will be talking, spelling, writing, and creating stories in no time.
