Cure Summer Boredom With These 7 Summer Learning Toys Kids Will Love!

Big Feelings Pineapple

Learning Resources Big Feelings Pineapple is a social emotional toy that’s perfect for creative play and body awareness. Great for kiddos ages 3 and up! This year has been an emotional ride for all of us, especially for our kids who’ve gone through the unimaginable being away from family and friends, familiar routines, and school. I love how kids can use the included 26 face pieces, from smiles to frowns and everything in between, to explore and express how they feel. This Big Feelings Pineapple is two-sided so kids can learn about opposite feelings by building two opposite faces at once. Great for building social-emotional learning skills with every face kids make! And when they’re done talking about their feelings, you can neatly store all the pieces inside the pineapple for easy cleanup. If you follow me on Instagram, you probably already know that I love pineapples. And this Big Feelings Pineapple is no exception!

Rainbow Fraction Measuring Cups

These days, many families are spending more and more time in the kitchen.

These are great fractions manipulatives and fantastic kid measuring cups — just right for baking with kids! These measuring cups all have the same radius so that they’re equivalent proportions to their respective fraction sizes. That way kids can visually see the difference in the fraction sizes. The set comes with a space saving storage container — perfect for storing on a countertop or in any small corner of your kitchen. Great for use with little kids as young as age 3. That way you can get them ahead in math!

Plus, they can serve as a no-mess science exploration. These Colormix Sensory Tubes are also great for on the go play, in the car, and pretty much anywhere you go. They can slide right into a backpack or kid’s activity tray when traveling.

But that’s just the start… With the included track boards and obstacle pieces, kids can set up all kinds of challenges for exploring all the amazing programming possibilities. With Botley 2.0, there’s no end to code-and-play excitement!
