Educational Toys Gift Guide

I often get questions about age-appropriate gifts for the children on your gift lists. I typically take the time to type out all of the products that are a good fit for your little ones ages and reasons why they are beneficial, but this year I’m sharing my go-to picks for every age group with all my readers and customers. They all can be purchased either from my MamaMayi shop or Amazon.

These picks embody the learning through play methodology that guides the development of my MamaMayi toys. I have also used many of them while raising and homeschooling my own three children. They encourage kids to build key skills, push the boundaries of their imagination, and share in making memories together, all while having a lot of fun.
