In a world of what seems like new technologies every day, you may be thinking that you need to buy your kids the latest and greatest equipment to keep up with the world at its lightning pace. With STEM careers being touted as the wave of the future, you may even be looking at your toddlers and dreaming of them becoming the next Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton or even Steve Jobs or Bill Gates?
The best advice I could give you is to not worry about making sure your kids have the latest technology but making sure you encourage and nurture your child’s natural curiosity, while developing motor skills, problem solving skills and a world of early imagination and discovery.
When Should You Start Incorporating Learning into Play?
Although your child starts learning at birth (actually before), around the preschool age of 2 or 3 is when your child’s early imagination really starts flourishing. They learn to pretend their dolls are real babies, their building blocks are buildings or that they are now driving their toy cars and trucks.
Imagine if you could help further their natural curiosity of how fast their trucks and cars can travel by introducing ideas like gravity, force, motion and physics for kids. Does that sound like too much too soon? Well, how about introducing your preschoolers to ramps while playing in order to acquaint them with those very concepts all while having loads of fun?!
Toys Can Open Your Child’s World of Imagination
An eco-friendly, portable, expandable toy like CarBoard is a fun and easy way to encourage your kid’s early imagination while supporting a thirst for knowledge, especially Science. What makes the car go so fast or slow? Do the larger toy cars and trucks move at the same rate of speed? If they were to race their cars on different ramps who would win and what are the factors to determine the victor? Problem solving skills are being developed in your child as well as advanced science concepts like gravity, motion and force!
All these ideas can be learned while playing with your CarBoard which can be lifted at different inclines and moved around the room for different forms of play. What a wonderful way to introduce a subject as challenging as SCIENCE?
Science Can and Should Be Fun!
CarBoard makes science more accessible, approachable and FUN for kids of all ages as they learn about motion, force, gravity, even tension and physics!
Even better for you, the easy set-up and break-down of CarBoard keeps it out of your way when it’s time to clean. Throughout the different stages of play, CarBoard is a great idea to keep learning fun and imaginative all while bonding with your child.
