As a mom of an 8-year-old who moved on from “I got to have this toy” to “Oh! I am bored with it” in record time, I found buying toys for her an endless impossible mission. I would buy and buy and buy toys for her hoping this one toy would keep her busy and give me that much-needed ‘me time’.
But all I was doing was gathering clutter. She would play with the new bright shiny toy for a while and then get tired of it. Plus, it was disappointing to see loads of unused toys sitting on a shelf collecting dust.
What if I could cut down on the clutter and find some engaging toys for my daughter that would keep her busy?
Enter Shumee – a scientifically advanced toy company that focuses on creating innovative, safe, long-lasting toys that ignite imagination and creativity in kids. According to child psychologists, children tend to lose interest in toys that limit their visual thinking and inventiveness no matter how excited they are initially with their new toy.
Expert recommendations for maintaining a child’s interest in toys include open-ended toys that encourage creativity, classic collections that grow over-time, educational items, DIY art and craft activity kits, pretend play sets or a set of wooden blocks that can make buildings, cities, forts, roads, and so on.
So, when it comes to creative toys for children who get easily bored less is more. Here’s my list of top 3 engaging wooden toys from Shumee that are sure to keep them busy for hours.
