Top Electronic Educational Toys for Young Boys
Aug 11th
Many toy manufactures now focus on the educational usefulness of the toys they produce. After all, toys have been known to nurture minds while encouraging discovery and enjoyment. Here are the top electronic educational toys for young boys that do not compromise the balance between fun and learning:
Number recognition
Introduce the joys of mathematics early to a young boy and help nurture a love for numbers. There are several great electronic educational toys that young boys will love, including oversized talking calculators that teach basic mathematics such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. These are colorful toys, which children find quite attractive. Battery power means these electronic toys can be carried anywhere.
Another great addition for your child’s collection is the electronic numbers mat. It consists of several mats with corresponding numbers and images. When pressed, the image reads the numbers out loud. Excellent for assisting young boys in learning to recognize and count numbers. Mats with images emit animal sounds.
Sequencing games
When there are electronic educational toys, sequencing games no longer have to be boring stuff. Engage your young boys in hours of fun, play and learning. An excellent electronic toy to look for is the one offered by LeapFrog — children manipulate components of the toy to create patterns and even play melodies. Helps focus not just on creativity and reasoning but also in developing children’s motor skills.
Building toys
Lego bricks are great but there are many electronic educational toys designed for young boys that encourage them to build and create another toy out of several components. Consider getting your child a radio and electronics set of a basic circuitry board. All components come in a box with instructions.
To build the toy itself, the child follows the instructions provided in an easy to read manual. Once he’s done, he will be able to make his own radio, for example, or a simple circuits board that has a computer interface or even a simple robot that comes with a sensor. Helps encourage creativity and scientific thinking; also helps develop focus.
Electronic educational toys such as these are best for older boys. Some components are small enough to be choking hazards, so avoid giving to a young child.
Science kit
There is a wide variety of electronic educational toys that young boys will find interesting, particularly if they are fond of science. Consider kits such as those that introduce your child to magnets, electricity, electromagnets, radio, sound, motion, computers and light. Try puzzles that combine light and sound or radio-controlled toys. For older kids, try the 100-in-1 or 200-in-1 electronic project kits that will provide them with neverending fun and learning.
There are plenty of boys toys designed for little boys and although these represent hours of fun, not all of them are effective as educational tools. Find out which toys are best for fun and learning.

Radio Controlled Toys such as helicopters and cars provide the excitement that both children and adults desire and encourage interaction between parents and their children. Depending on what you buy, these toys can be enjoyed inside or outside in the garden, yard or park. Most RC Toys are relatively easy to control, especially when under adult supervision and are suitable for children 8 years and up.
Puzzles
I highly recommend puzzles. There is a vast array of interesting puzzles in the market place such as the Tripod puzzle, Cmetric Too and of course the highly popular Sudocube which comes in a cube just like the traditional rubik cube. These puzzles are created to stimulate critical thinking and encourage problem solving skills, combining education and fun.
Educational Solar Toys
In today’s climate of environmental awareness, solar powered toys and kits are not only great fun, but also introduce children of all ages to the concept of renewable energy and offer adults and their children the experience of building the toys together. Different solar toys offer different degrees of difficulty when it comes to assembling, hence, you can be sure to find one that is both challenging and fun for both parents and child.
Active Toys
As the risk of child obesity increases at an alarming rate, it is important that we continue to look for creative ways to add activities into the lifestyles of our children. There are a number of fun games that encourages physical movements and exercise. Games such as Dance Pad and racket ball games are great way to achieve this goal.
Homemade Toys
Finally, there are many inexpensive ways to engage your kids and is fun for parent and child. Nothing beats the old fashion way of paper plane and kite making. Kids’ sense of pride in their kites is undeniable. No store-bought kites could have brought these children as close to the mystery and physics of flight as their own creations. Parents would no doubt enjoy teaching their children how to make these toys which they themselves played with as children. Teaching children how to make a toy can be a memorable and meaningful way to spend time with them.
