Here at WoodenToyShop.co.uk we love having fun with the wooden toys we sell on our site. We think it’s important for kids to enjoy playing with toys just for the sake of it, but at the same time we’re very aware that play forms a very important part of children’s physical and mental development. That’s why we’ve decided to put our money where our mouth is by offering a standard 10% discount to schools, pre-schools and nurseries.
All schools need to do to take advantage of this fantastic and permanent offer is to contact us and we’ll set the wheels in motion. Once we’ve established your bona fides, we’ll open an account and send you all the details you need to start shopping!
You’ll find plenty of toys with very obvious educational value at WoodenToyShop.co.uk. Colourful wooden letters and numbers are always popular, as are abacuses and toy clocks. Art lessons are always a favourite in schools and we have a large section of arts and craft toys as well as one for children’s easels. And for parents and schools that want to encourage children to develop their musical skills, we have a selection of musical toys – drums, xylophones, guitars, recorders and much, much more – which will inspire hours of noisy (but musical!) lessons and games.
If you are looking for toys that help children develop cognitive skills, look no further than our Puzzles and Games category, which includes such kids’ classics as jigsaws and wooden board games such as dominos, noughts and crosses and Ludo. These are the sort of toys which require a little bit of concentration that doesn’t dilute the enjoyment and we know, because we all played these games when we were younger, how much children love playing these games.
Lots of toys help children to learn how to socialise and then how to articulate their thoughts and improve their vocabularies. Toy shops and houses are ideal for games with brothers, sisters and friends and playing shopkeeper, for example, leads to all sorts of social interactions, conversations and even counting games. We understand that schools value role playing toys and our toy kitchens are also perfect for letting children play at being adults while starting to learn basic skills that benefit them in the future.
Preschools and schools will also be interested in toys that help children develop physically. Toys like balance bikes strengthen leg muscles whilst building and construction toys improve hand/eye coordination and fine motor skills. Our outstanding selection of outdoor toys is ideal for playgrounds and schoolyards. Play centres with swings, slides and monkey bars give children an opportunity to let off steam while building muscle strength and learning how to assess risk. We can even provide sand pits and children’s picnic tables which will look wonderful in any playground or garden, especially next to a play house!
On a more practical level, WoodenToyShop.co.uk also has a delightful selection of kids’ desks, tables and chairs, plain or decorated, which are ideal for classrooms and breakout areas. We also have fantastic storage solutions such as chests and boxes which encourage children to tidy up after playtime!
This is why we love what we do: what could be better than brilliant toys which are educational and developmentally beneficial? We’re so confident that our toys will be of benefit in preschools, nurseries and schools that we’ll be regularly giving some away to account holders. Contact us now to open your school account.
