Learning That Grows with Them
Older Kids Still Learn Through Hands-On Experiences
As children get older, educational play changes. They may be ready for more complex games, multi-step challenges, independent activities and resources that let them apply what they're learning in new ways.
These resources can be useful at home, in classrooms, during small-group learning, for tutoring or simply for children who enjoy learning something new.
What Makes a Good Educational Toy for an 8–12 Year Old?
Age is a useful starting point, but the best choice also depends on what the child enjoys and what kind of challenge they are ready for.
Every 8–12 Year Old Is Different
Two children of the same age can have completely different strengths, interests and learning needs. Some will love complex puzzles and strategy. Others may benefit from hands-on resources that reinforce an important skill.
Use the recommended age as a guide and check the individual product information when choosing the most appropriate resource.
