Why 3-Dimensional Object Play is Critical

Today’s blog posting is written by Bethe’ Smith who has been with Discovery Toys for 2 years. She has her Child Development Associate in Preschool Education. She has over 15 years experience in childcare as a Preschool Teacher and a Home Daycare Owner. She is currently a homeschooling mom. She has a 9 year old girl and a 6 year old boy. She and her husband of ten years are happy to be expecting their third child in September.


• Schools are underperforming on standardized tests.

• High school graduation rates remain below 50% in some states.

• Concerns continue to mount about global competitiveness.

• We are raising children that can no longer think for themselves.

The solution to these issues is so simple. Children need 3-dimensional “hands-on” play! The child’s brain needs to be in charge of learning!

This is what Discovery Toys is all about! We offer every child the 5-point advantage.

1) Kid Powered
• Hands-on, kinesthetic, object play.
• Child controls the play experience with guidance from parents.
• Child learns to visualize the concepts, to learn at their own pace, to create their own problems to solve and to think about things from a different perspective.

2) Layers of Learning
• DT products support multiple skills and learning pathways. They are loaded with learning!
• DT products grow with your child.
• DT products support a variety of learning styles.

3) Parents Involved
• Parents are their child’s first teacher.
• Parents play along with their child. Just 10 minutes a day can work to deliver play!
• Parents learn and grow along with their child.

4) Top Quality and Proven Safe
• DT products are made of top quality materials.
• DT products are packaged in top quality packaging.
• DT corporate standards are higher than government standards. (many times Discovery Toys goes beyond the recommended age range, for example, when deeming a product “safe” and age grade the standard from a younger age up through the next age.)
• DT products are inspected 3 different times.
• DT products have a Lifetime Guarantee and replacement parts

5) FUN!
• Toy products need to ultimately be FUN! Our toys are designed with “fun” and learning in mind…we believe you can never have one without the other.
• Fun is Play…and Play is what we build each and every day…with our Products, Parents and our Promise!

Since you are reading this blog you are someone that recognizes that a child’s education is important and you are taking steps to improve it, THANK YOU! As a Discovery Toys leader I am pleased to see more parents taking a more proactive role in their child’s education at an earlier age. We need more people to choose toys and games that help our children’s future and more consultants to help spread our mission across the US and Canada. If you are interested in joining my Discovery Toys nationwide team, I would love to help you get started.
