Ages & Stages

Some toys help children learn their ABCs, 123s, shapes and colors. But learning through play means much more than memorizing these facts. Babies and toddlers are junior scientists—they are constantly discovering how things work.

Preschool thinking play helps children develop the key concepts and skills that come before reading and counting:

• Increasing attention span
• Understanding concepts such as in/out, up/down, fast/slow
• Sorting, classifying and matching
• Remembering sequences
• Recognizing patterns
