Suitable craft toys for kids
Toys help in the overall development of kids. This is something that has been proved time and again through various studies involving animals and even humans. But are all toys beneficial. Will playing with ball be equally beneficial as playing with a construction set? The answer is No. All toys do not provide the same kind of cognitive benefits to children. Each toy works on different aspects of a kid’s mental and emotional health. Some toys act as stress relievers whereas some boost memory. Studies on pre-schoolers have found that when given the right kind of toy, these kids learned various academic concepts better and faster. One of the types of toys that a kid is introduced at an early age is craft toys. Playing with suitable craft toys helps kids become social as well as perform better at academics. We at Camtec Kids specialist have always endeavoured to provide the right kind of toys to kids. We are one of the specialists in craft toys for kids in Singapore.
The craft toys that are found to be most beneficial to kids are:
- Painting and drawing kits
There is medical evidence that painting and drawing help release positive emotions. These activities de-stress the body. Academically, painting and drawing activities help kids learn colours and shapes. Socially it makes them more communicative. Kids learn to be patient and understand the concept of not hurrying things. Physically it develops motor skills in kids which later on help them improve their writing skills. We store enough painting and drawing supplies in our Camtec Kids specialist store to suit each and every requirement of kids. - Doodling kits
Doodling is synonymous with scribbling. It does not necessarily have any form, shape or purpose. But this seemingly non-activity is actually a memory booster. It keeps kids from day dreaming or being lost in thought. It helps them actually increase attention by keeping the brain occupied. Children remember more while doodling. We at Camtec Kids specialist recognize the benefits of doodling and have kept numerous such kits for kids to occupy themselves with.
Increases visual processing
Visual processing is necessary for map reading and problem solving. Art and craft activities like modelling using play dough, sands and a variety of other material help strengthen a child’s visual processing skills. Through clay modelling kids make different patterns and shapes using different coloured clay. Kids learn to use their sense of touch and model variety of objects using either their hands or moulds. They learn the construction and deconstruction process. All this helps them later with geometry and trignometry in advanced class as these concepts use graphs, object rotation and images.
Clay modelling kits
Clay modelling help kids develop sense of touch. They mould, scrap and build various objects with their own hands using play dough or clay or any such modelling material. They also learn about different types of material. It gives them joy and satisfaction in viewing their own unique creation. Because craft is not specific, kids can build things in their own way. It helps to increase their self-esteem and self-confidence. No shop of craft toys for kids in Singapore is complete without these kits.
Designing and decorating kits
Stickers, decorative items, jewellery making and bag making kits are some of craft toys that either increase the appeal of an object or create objects in new way. They increase kid’s imagination and creative thinking. Kids learn innovative ways to make old things attractive. We at Camtec Kids Specialist make sure that our store is
