The Basics Of Learning

We want to encourage parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles to take babies, toddlers, and older children back to the basics of learning. Back to the basics of babies learning how to use their little hands to pick up an object to toddlers learning how to spell D-O-G and C-A-T and older children to build what they envision in their minds. We want to take parents back to a simpler time when you didn't have television or computers to teach and entertain children.


My husband and I were born in the mid-1970's and compared to today growing up in the late 70's and the 80's it was a simpler time. We didn't grow up with cell phones, Internet, big flat screen TVs, iPods, or Facebook. We were a generation of kids that grew up outdoors riding bikes and climbing trees, building forts and snowmen, and playing tag with all the kids on the block. It is sad to drive down neighborhoods now and not see groups of children doing any of these things. When we were playing indoors on a rainy day we didn't have a Playstation, Wii, or X-Box, DVDs, or Internet to entertain us. Children back then read a book,  played a board game, colored or drew pictures, built houses with wooden blocks or Legos, played house or dress up, or played with action figures and dolls.


Now don't get me wrong, I don't think children playing video games, watching a movie, or playing  games on the computer is wrong or bad, I am just saying there is a whole world to explore and learn from other than a computer or video game. How can a child learn what a caterpillar feels like or see what a bird's nest looks like if they don't explore their little world in their yard or neighborhood? How can a child learn to draw or paint on a computer? How can they communicate or develop real friendships with other children if all they learn is texting and Facebook updates. How can a child build things with their hands from a video game or computer? I  encourage you to get back to the basics of learning by eliminating some of your child's time spent on video games, Internet, and cell phones and instead start exploring their small world (e.g. your back yard or local park) with your children to teach them, learn with them, and to grow with them.


So you're probably wondering how do our toys fit The Basics of Learning? Simple. Our wooden stacker blocks are basic toys that help develop babies gross motor skills such as picking up an object, stacking an object, and even throwing. For toddlers our wooden memory game and building blocks are excellent toys to help develop their fine motor skills. Our hangman game is awesome for older toddlers and older children to develop their spelling and reading skills. These are toys that you as a parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle will enjoy playing and building with the children in your lives.
