It is really important to encourage your child to play with educational toys. Not only does it mean that they'll have less screen time on their electronic devices, but it also helps them learn and develop their problem solving skills and nurtures their creativity. Studies have actually suggested how traditional and educational toys are far better at helping a child gain language skills in comparison to playing on an online programme.
