bring back play with galt toys :: review

April showers bring…well, this week in Michigan, it appears they bring May showers! And, after a brutal winter, being stuck inside is no fun for any of us!

It’s amazing how quickly my kids forget how to play on days like that. “I’m bored!” quickly becomes the rainy day slogan. But, apparently, my kids aren’t the only ones. Research in the UK is showing that more families are relying on high-tech toys and literally forgetting what it means to unplug and play.

Galt Toys, alongside Dr. Miriam Stoppard, is making its mission to teach and remind families the benefits of play. In addition tl all of the fabulous toys Galt Toys offers, the Dr. Miriam Collection offers 21 wooden, plastic, and soft toys that encourage little hands to explore and little minds to imagine!

As a mom of three, I love that Galt Toys features toys for all stages for ages 0 to 10 years! My son, who loves all things trucks, cars, and trains, adores having puzzles of his very own. And with four puzzles, all different sizes, included in the 4 Puzzles in a Box – Vehicles set, he can start out mastering the four-piece puzzle and make his way up to the twelve-piece puzzle when he’s ready!

For my girls, rainy days now mean sewing! They have been begging me to teach them how to sew. The First Sewing and First Knitting kits have been great teaching tools! The plastic needle, larger thread, foam cut-out pieces and simplified instructions make assembly easier for little hands and no worries about poking fingers.

So proud of doing it all by herself!

I love that the prices and variety of toys at Galt Toys means we can keep our toy cabinet stocked for these stormy spring and summer days. And it’s refreshing to see the kids reach for their Galt Toys instead of reaching for the iPad!

To see the entire, amazing line of Galt Toys, just visit them online at GaltToys.com and start filling your toy cabinet today! Because I’m sure more rainy days are on their way…
