B ALLSETFORSCHOOL Miniland Educational toys have been designed to teach children the skills to be ready for school by learning through play. Playing with Miniland, kids can grasp the basics and then see the maths elements as they develop.
Miniland Aptitude Logic Turtles is a
fun game that teaches children how to differentiate between colours, spatial orientation and notions of topology.
The cards cover a series of exercises to help children identify the orientation and colour of the turtles. Each card features two levels of difficulty that progresses the child’s aptitude.
Miniland Aptitude Activity Math Colour Rings are designed to work on the differentiation between sizes, colours, and textures with different themes and rings. These activities are grouped by different levels of difficulty and challenge. The
18 activity cards and didactic guide help parents learn too! The rings also come with a carry case.
All Miniland toys are suitable for those aged two to five.

C DEVELOPDEXTERITY Kinoptik Garden is the latest release in the Kinoptik range. Over 100 different pieces allow children to create a magical moving garden while developing an understanding of spatial relationships, design, construction, and cause and effect. Changing the direction of the tiles changes the flow of movement in the design.
Quantitix is a fun beginner game to help children develop categorising, counting, and recording skills. Games for the preschool age are great for teaching children how to follow rules in a simple and fun way.
Developing a familiarity and recognition of letters, numbers, shapes, and symbols used within the STEM/STEAM subject areas is the very first step to understanding the concepts.
These beautiful rubber-wood timber blocks from Le Toy Van have capital and lower case letters, numbers as well as
shapes for early geometric recognition. The illustrations on each block relate to the letter and number on the block to support phonic and numerical recognition.
