Galt: 150 Years of Excellence in Educational Toys at DiscoverMe

Oct. 26, 2010 - PRLog -- When it comes to combining fun with development in educational toys there are not many toy companies more experienced than Galt. Galt began more than 150 years ago with the vision of creating childrens toys that would educate as they entertain and delight as they develop core skills. Galt toys, available at online retailer of all quality educational toys DiscoverMe (http://www.discovermetoys.co.uk/), are still going strong today and are as popular as ever with both parents and children thanks to their ability to encourage learning through play.

Galt is well known for their creative arts and crafts toys, puzzles and games, all designed to help boost the creative juices in little brains. However, the many years of development and design of Galt educational toys has seen the range expand to include toys that stimulate physical, problem-solving, social and communication skills in babies and children from birth to age 3 and over. For instance, Galt help make the most of the very early ‘tummy time’ stage with the Galt Tummytime Playmat. Playmats are one of the very first toys that can be a powerful learning tool, as well as somewhere cosy and safe for baby to hang out! When baby is learning to sit up you can provide leaning support combined with some sensory delights that encourage discovery and exploration in the cute and friendly Galt Activity Dino.

From age 6 months onwards there will be even more interaction between baby and his or her baby toys. Galt has made the most of this valuable opportunity to develop problem-solving skills and to start teaching the alphabet with early years activity toys such as the Galt Soft Blocks and the Galt Activity Cube. This interaction, learning and development is encouraged as baby enters his or her first year, with slightly more challenging childrens toys such as the Galt Sorting Wheel which encourages matching with its wooden shape sorter, and Galt Jungle Pals Skittles, a fun game of skittles with safe, soft characters which helps with hand-eye co-ordination. Galt continues to provide fantastic educational and developmental toys, games, books and puzzles throughout the following few years of a child’s life.

DiscoverMe has selected some of the very best of the Galt toys range – those which are loved equally by both children and parents – as part of its range of the world’s finest educational childrens toys. View this and all of the brands at http://www.discovermetoys.co.uk/.
