An 'educational toy' for your child 

What is an educational toy? An educational toy is one that should assist in your child's development. This educational toy is aimed at parents of children aged three to five years.

Mentis Excel have produced more than just an educational toy. They have produced a revolutionary new way of working with your child to develop their skills.

Most 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.

An educational toy. And More!

We have produced a development programme - not a toy. The programme 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 guide to helping 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.
