Discovery Toys

Listing Information:

Discovery Toys products are designed with the understanding that children learn best through hands-on, kid-powered play, as attested over decades by Piaget, Montessori, Peter Gray, and many other child development experts. From birth to school age, children learn best through physically interacting with the environment and using all of their senses to build new knowledge. More recently, the American Academy of Pediatrics reports that child-directed play is fundamentally important for learning 21st-century skills, such as problem-solving, collaboration, and creativity. DT combines multiple levels of learning in every toy, with safety and quality standards beyond the national standards. As many of our customers and Product Advisors can testify, a Discovery Toys product is not a typical educational toy that you can find at your local toy shop. Each Discovery Toys product incorporates multiple “Layers of Learning” to empower the child to grow and advance with the product. These “Layers of Learning” complement well the scaffolding approach to education, with parents or other adults encouraged through included activity guides to support the early childhood development of progressive skills and eventual independent learning.
