Fat Brain Toys Shape Factory: Unique Shape Sorting Fun

Posted on October 14, 2020 by Lubica Misevski

Fat Brain Toys Shape Factory | Shape Sorter | KidzInc Australia

Sorting shapes has never been so much fun for little ones as when they sit down to enjoy Fat Brain Toys Shape Factory. This unique toy adds a twist to the classic shape sorter many children play with in early childhood. While the toy contains only four slots, it has ten unique shapes that fit into those slots. By twisting, sorting, and playing, children can determine how each of the shapes fits through the slots. With the push of a button, the slots change, the top twists, and children have a unique opportunity to explore the toy all over again. 

Fat Brain Toys Shape Factory encourages a number of developmental skills that can serve children well as they grow and play. 

Spatial Reasoning

Not only does spatial reasoning help children learn how shapes fit together and interact with their environments, spatial reasoning skills can serve as a predictor of future problem-solving and higher-order maths skills. Children with solid spatial reasoning skills have the ability to take abstract pieces of information and connect them together in effective ways, allowing them to solve complex theoretical problems. Fat Brain Toys Shape Factory allows for an early look at this style of spatial reasoning as children shift and adapt the blocks to fit them into the spaces more effectively. 

Problem-Solving

Not only does Fat Brain Toys Shape Factory allow children to explore complex spatial reasoning challenges, it encourages problem-solving skills. Children can explore the shapes in their hands, twisting and turning them until they fit into the spaces. Children must also consider when to press the button to change the shapes, shifting the problem in front of them--and once they have the shapes in place, they must evaluate the toy to figure out how to release the shapes and start the fun all over again. Problem-solving skills can help children adapt and flourish in many areas of life. With healthy problem-solving skills, they will have a better idea of how to approach challenges and how to navigate solutions, even in complex scenarios. 

Fine Motor Skills

Fine motor skills are incredibly important for little learners. They need fine motor skills to manipulate small objects and eventually to learn how to write and operate with precision. Early fine motor skills success can help encourage children to further develop those skills and interact with more complex aspects of their environment. Due to the precision needed to move each shape into the appropriate space, Fat Brain Toys Shape Factory helps children develop and practice their fine motor skills in an age-appropriate way. 

Experimentation

Every shape does not fit into every hole. In order to get the shapes into the right spaces, children will have to experiment and explore. Will this shape go here? What happens if they turn it this way? Throughout their play with the Fat Brain Toys Shape Factory, children will have the chance to experiment with their environment and get a better picture of how it will respond. Not only does this provide them with a more solid idea of the world around them, it can help encourage an attitude of experimentation that can carry children through the rest of their lives. A willingness to experiment can help children develop flexibility, problem-solving skills, and enhanced ability to cope with challenges around them--not to mention preparing them to come up with creative solutions to real-world issues.

Appropriate for children age two and up, the Fat Brain Toys Shape Factory is a great choice for encouraging learning and development through play. If you're looking for an excellent STEM toy addition to your child's toy box, this toy is an excellent place to start.

Little Genius Starter Kit by Osmo - the Best STEM Toy for Your Little Genius

Posted on August 06, 2019 by Lubica Misevski

Osmo The Little Genius Starter Kit | Kidzinc Australia | Online Educational Toys

From their wobbly first step, to their dimply first smile, to the first time they say your name, what parent hasn't considered their child a little genius? Our kids fascinate us with their knowledge absorption- spouting new phrases that make us laugh and mastering new skills every day. Preschoolers, in particular, are little sponges with super curious minds. They like to ask, "why," and take things apart and figure out how things work. They love to imagine and create and move quickly from one activity to another. This is the perfect age to introduce your little genius to the Little Genius Starter Kit by Osmo.

This Montessori-based STEM toy is equipped to entertain and educate with four fun games to try. Both tactile and technological, the Little Genius Starter Kit will capture your child's imagination, hold their attention, and expand their mind, enhancing their scholastic aptitude.

 

WHAT IS THE LITTLE GENIUS STARTER KIT?

The Little Genius Starter Kit is a hands-on learning adventure that incorporates technology with imagination, via the use of 4 iPad apps and tactile objects like silicone sticks, costume pieces and play mats. Pre-schoolers use the apps to develop letter recognition, problem-solving, critical thinking, spatial reasoning, social and emotional development, fine motor skills, pre-drawing, pre-reading, phonics and more! But they won't even notice all the learning they're doing, because they'll be having too much fun! Let's take a look at the four games they can play with the Little Genius Starter Kit.

ABCs

Pre-schoolers will follow Mo the Monster on a learning adventure that teaches them 300 new words. They will build letters from squishy silicone shapes that are silly and fun, but also enhance letter recognition, phonics, vocabulary, and construction skills. Different pre-schoolers learn in different ways. This game teaches them visually, audibly, and with hands-on methods, increasing their ability to retain it. ABCs is so fun that preschoolers will want to play again and again, which promotes memorization. This game is fun to play with others, but also fun to play on their own. This will enhance their school readiness since being able to work autonomously to complete an assignment is an essential scholastic success. ABCs will have your pre-schoolers ready to read and identify all their letters.

SQUIGGLE MAGIC

In this game, preschoolers use silicone shapes to create anything they wish, then watch it come to life! This game encourages creativity and lets their imagination soar. Whatever the design by a child will be animated onscreen, for a hilarious and exciting adventure. Children get a sense of pride when they create something all by themselves. This is a no-rules, imagination exploration that will capture your child's attention. They will learn cognitive, emotional and social skills, along with creativity and pre-drawing abilities. But most of all, they will have a blast! Preschool involves lots of creative play, craft making, and drawing. Squiggle Magic prepares kids for these tasks and helps them learn to sit still and finish a project they started. Seeing their idea come to life, in reality, is exciting, and encourages them to keep creating. Fun to play with siblings or friends, expect lots of giggling with this one!

COSTUME PARTY

What preschooler doesn't like to play dress-up? From trying on Dad's shoes to donning a princess tiara, Pre-schoolers love to pretend! This game allows them to create party outfits for characters, then see how the characters react. They'll see how color and emotion are linked to expression, and learn spatial reasoning, creativity, and fine motor skills. Independence and autonomy are becoming important at this age and choosing outfits is a way to express that. A Little Genius Starter Kit character can wear anything they choose, regardless of practicality, weather, or color coordination. This allows their artistic minds to know no bounds, and their preferences to be explored. Identifying their preferences and expressing themselves is an important milestone for students. Encountering all different mindsets at school, having a strong sense of self and an ability to express that are important skills for all students. Let Costume Party spark that confidence!

STORIES

In this mix and match game, Mo the Monster guides them through obstacles and adventures, using costumes to find solutions. Problem-solving and critical thinking are enhanced through encouraging motivation. Preschoolers love to go where their mind takes them, and this adventure is perfect for that! Their curiosity is rewarded by instant feedback, so they're excited to keep exploring. This game eliminates the fear of "getting it wrong" and allows kids to expand their mind. With standardized tests and aptitude scores, a major focus of education, creativity, and exploration can often be stifled. But these skills are exactly what is needed for students to succeed in school and also in their careers. Whether writing a novel or designing a patent, thinking outside the lines is the key to success and standing out in the crowd. Stories is a game that nurtures that skill, leading to a bright future.

The Little Genius Starter Kit by Osmo enhances 15 child development skills, with an emphasis on STEM capabilities. This kit will give your preschooler an unprecedented advantage in scholastic environments, but will also be their new favorite toy. Don't be surprised if you find yourself wanting to play along!
