Smile Educational and fine motor games

A great place to buy educational games is smile educational toys. The consultant I use is Karien Prinsloo 0826144112. The following Smile games are a must for any Gr. double zero to Gr.7 child: Phone Karien and order them for your children: Tangram duet, Logi-shape, Finger fun, Pegboard combo and 3D designs. Remember to keep the educational games in a safe place, only take it out when you are going to play it WITH your child, teach them to pack it away every time and to look after it, don't loose the parts or leave it out for days.Also phone Karien and ask her to advise you on toys for your babies-4 year olds, smile has a very wide range. Also buy a flip and catch, stilts, hang tough rings and a rope ladder to strengthen your child's shoulder muscles. Remember, a child needs strong stomach and back muscles as well as strong shoulder and neck muscles to provide them with a stable base of support for writing. Michelle

Playstation games Part A

Mostly the lingo of any 11 year old boy, it's sort of what makes them "tick". I prescribe to all my children clients "no more than 30min at a time" (It puts strain on your eyes after 20 min). Seemingly impossible for parents to control. So many of my friends recently bought new couches for their living room, new flat screen TVs etc... and I ask them "what did you buy for your children that you can do WITH THEM?” Most of the toys and things (DVDS, Guns) that parents buy for their children is stuff that makes the children play on their own. My friends are mostly impressed with those toys, and all the really great educational toys that you have to play WITH your child are going off the market, because no body buys it. 90% of the parents I meet don’t even know what Lego is. Not to say that you have to play with your child 24/7, at least get a trampoline, jungle gym, and rope in the tree and 7 educational 3dimensional games, (not computer educational games). Use play station and TV watching time as incentive to playing outside.Think of the things you played when you were a child, I’m sure you’ll get some fantastic ideas to stimulate your child's creativity and development.
