Best Educational Toys for 4-Year-Olds

Four-year-olds are full of energy and curiosity, but sitting and listening in a classroom isn’t always the best way for them to learn. 

Learning through play is a great way for them to interact with the world and develop their emotional capacity, motor skills, and confidence while also having fun and engaging with others. 

Check out these fun educational toys for 4-year-olds that’ll give them the best start to their education!

4-year-olds will love exploring the ship with its foil sail, rotating boosters, a steering wheel, a detachable jet ski toy, and an anchor on a chain while fending off villain Ghost Ninja Karenn. There’s even a dragon flying about to add some fire to the action, with wings that really flap! 

Once Karenn is defeated, take him to the prison island where he can be locked away before the team sails off again.

Help 4-year-olds build emotional intelligence as they take care of two horses with LEGO® Friends Emma and Stephanie!

This set is excellent for preparing young ones for taking care of animals – as well as loads of fun for horse-lovers!
