Brighten Up Rainy Day Playtime with DiscoverMe Toys

April 9, 2011 - PRLog -- It can be difficult to keep your children amused on rainy days. Being confined to the house often means no playing in the park, no play dates and no trips in the car to visit family and friends. Brighten up rainy day playtime with some of the most inventive, fun and cheery childrens toys from the toy retailer which knows how to delight and educate more than any other: DiscoverMe (http://www.discovermetoys.co.uk/).

The key to keeping your child entertained inside when the rain is coming down outside is the right kind of toy. The old favourite at the bottom of the toy box just won’t cut it when it comes to bringing a smile to a bored and fidgety child. It’s a good idea to keep some toys to one side especially ‘for a rainy day’; toys you have picked especially for their bright and fun appearance and their ability to keep little minds and little hands busy and happy.

Activity toys are great for this, especially ones that feature multiple activities like the East Coast Wooden Activity Cube. Wooden toys needn’t be boring – this brightly coloured multi activity centre is anything but, boasting five different things to do: a bead race, a chalk board, a musical xylophone, a fun maze and flipping letters. Puzzles which exercise your child’s problem solving skills are also more likely to keep minds occupied for longer. The Melissa and Doug range of toys feature some particularly diverting puzzles. Take the Magnetic Puzzle Bug-Catching Game which allows your child to ‘catch’ the brightly coloured bugs from their sunny garden with the help of a magnetic butterfly net, before working out whereabouts on the puzzle they should be returned. Or how about the Melissa and Doug Vehicles Chunky Puzzle with its fun planes, trains and automobiles to let your child’s imagination wonder even on a rainy afternoon. Babies can get just as frustrated by a boring rainy day which keeps them inside, but DiscoverMe also has a wide range of baby toys to keep even the littlest ones amused. They don’t come much brighter than the Galt Stacking Hen. This soft plush stacking ring is suitable for babies over 3 months and if the stacking game isn’t enough diversion then there’s the array of sounds and textures: a squeaky beak, crinkle wings, furry rattle and jingle rings!

DiscoverMe understands that the best way to keep bored children happy on a rainy day is by making playtime magical with the best, brightest and most diverting toys available. They also know that playtime is also the best time for teaching, which is why all of the toys you’ll find at DiscoverMe are also educational toys!
