Critical Reasoning

Toys that foster critical reasoning are essential to any child's development and learning. Small children are sponges and they are constantly assimilating and building upon knowledge. While you may not always understand that they are learning, they almost always are. When it comes to critical thinking, cognitive development, problem solving and reasoning, your child is getting his or her bearings in the world every day. Each time that they try something new, they become more aware of their own thinking. This is called meta-cognition and is the ability to think about your own thinking. It is what sets humans apart from most other animals. The better that a person can evaluate their own thinking and reasoning, the more quickly they can take on new tasks and learn new skills. The brain is a muscle that must be worked out daily and toys like our strategy games, shape sorters and puzzles all strengthen their mind and prepare them for later childhood and adulthood.
