I’ve been working hard on gift guides for television segments at work and I came across Discovery Toys which I love! First off, the company is based in Nor Cal aka the Bay (my hometown)…but what I truly appreciate about these “toys” is that they all have educational value. I mean when kids play they are learning, but it’s makes these toys extra attractive because while they play they are tapping into many senses…creating…and being educated!! Childhood development professionals recommend these toys…just saying.

Then they have classic toys like the award winning Measure Up! Collection. Watch learning in action with this kitchen-themed set…sine they love all real kitchen utensils and stuff anyway… Spoons, cups and pots are all accurate sizes, perfect  for interaction. Introduce a host of fundamental concepts related to counting, sorting, volume, size, patterns, measurement, clock time & more.

And for your bigger kids, the Marbleworks raceway sets are fun, who doesn’t love marbles. They have several sets that all work together, so you can add to the set as desired. Connect colorful tubes, chutes and bases together in different ways to create an infinite number of raceway configurations. As the marbles speed through the course, children learn about the laws of gravity, object permanence and cause and effect. Marbleworks products inspire girls AND boys to pursue higher education in the fields of engineering, math and technology. Yes inspire them to love and pursue a future in the STEM fields!
