How does your child learn? Do they prefer to climb, sing or draw?

Why do some children learn to read easily at school while others prefer to climb out the window? Some children love to color within the lines, whilst others become frustrated?

One of the reasons is children have different learning styles which are dictated by their dominant sense: sight, hearing or motion.

Children who are able to use their dominant sense thrive. Children who can't may have problems meeting developmental milestones. So identifying and working with your child's learning style will help them. Learning toys are tools to help children develop skills. When chosen well they complement a natural learning style, and so help the learning process.

Which learning toy should you choose?

A child will love playing with a learning toy which complements their preferred sense. A visual child will love a building set, an auditory child a musical instrument and a kinesthetic child a trampoline. However children need to be encouraged to use their non-preferred sense and this is where learning toys really come into their own.
