Educational Toys

The Best one for your child's development. "The Child Development Programme"

At Mentis we have moved beyond educational toys and have devoted our resources to provide a complete experience. Instead of 'educational toys' that offer limited development, our programme is designed to enable parents with pre-school children in the early years foundation stage to interact in new ways specifically designed to improve the child's early learning abilities.

Most toys - even 'learning toys' that you see are really very limited - they concentrate on one facet of your child's development and, frequently, only a small part of that. Their appeal can be limited and the child quickly tires of it.

Learning toys. And More!

This is more than just one of many learning toys. We have produced a development programme. Unlike learning toys, its resources targets key areas in a young child's development ranging from motor skills, to social, language and perception: instead of a small area of development we have built a comprehensive range of activities to help your child.

Why is movement so important? Developing movement is one of the first skills a young child develops - one which many toys do not target. The stimulation that the brain receives helps it develop further skills. Regrettably many children are not sufficiently active. In recent research more than half the children entering nursery or reception class failed to have expected motor coordination. There is also evidence that this lack of motor development is associated with hyperactivity (which is also increasing alarmingly amongst young children)

The programme has been developed by an Educational Psychologist with more than 20 years experience and specialising in the 'Early Years'.

On our website is information relating to this programme and a sample video showing the type of exercises we are trying to encourage parents to try.
