School holidays and half-term breaks are a perfect time for kids to rest, recharge, and of course play! But for parents, it’s also a great opportunity to keep young minds engaged in fun, educational ways without it feeling like “homework.” That’s where STEM and learning toys come in, blending playtime with hands-on learning that kids enjoy.
At Toyrific, we believe learning should always be playful. Here are five of our favourite STEM and educational toys that make it easy to sneak in some extra knowledge while having loads of fun!
Science Illuminated World Globe
If you’ve got a curious explorer at home, the Science Illuminated World Globe is a must-have. This isn’t just any globe - it lights up, helping children discover continents, countries, oceans, and cultures in a whole new way. The soft glow makes it perfect for evening learning sessions or bedtime stories about faraway places. Geography, science, and cultural awareness all wrapped up in one beautifully engaging toy.
🛠️ Little Roots Tool Kit Bag
Learning practical life skills is just as important as academics. The Little Roots Tool Kit Bag is ideal for budding builders and problem-solvers. With child-friendly, realistic tools, kids can practice hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and even early STEM concepts like engineering and construction all through imaginative role play. Bonus: it keeps little hands busy on rainy afternoons!
Water Wall
Turn your garden into a mini science lab with the Water Wall. Kids can explore cause-and-effect, gravity, and water flow through hands-on experiments. Watch as they pour, splash, and adjust the components to change how the water moves. It’s a brilliant way to introduce early physics concepts plus, it’s guaranteed outdoor fun on sunny days!
Pop-Up Play Town
Encourage creative thinking, storytelling, and problem-solving with the Pop-Up Play Town. Kids can build their own little town, learning about community roles, spatial awareness, and social interaction through pretend play. It’s perfect for nurturing early communication skills and developing an understanding of the world around them.
Play Tray
The Play Tray is the ultimate tool for open-ended learning. Whether your child is into sensory play, messy science experiments, counting games, or arts and crafts, the Play Tray is a versatile way to encourage curiosity and exploration. It’s especially handy for indoor play during unpredictable British weather!
