Thank you Safari Ltd for sponsoring this post. All opinions are 100% our own.
My youngest went through a period where she was extremely scared of storms so if it was going to rain we knew we would need to make arrangements to have her in a safe quiet place. Since she was so young, weekly play therapy became a way of life for us to figure out what was going on with her. This type of therapy was great because through “play” she was able to express her fears and experiences and we were able to move to a much better place for her. We discovered she loved playing in a sand tray during her therapy sessions so like any good mom I became obsessed with finding the best toys for her that could be used in our sand trays at home. Since learning and playing at home is of upmost importance to me we bring you today’s Cool Mom Pick for best Toys that Teach from Safari Ltd.®
Safari Ltd hand-crafts over 1000 realistic wild animal figures, mini animal collections, dinosaur toys, sea animal figures, mythical creatures (like dragons and fairies) and much more which will help your kids develop a love for play and learning. The goal of their educational toy animals is to help kids learn about the importance of nature and conservation while just having fun just being a kid. The coolest thing is that no two Safari Ltd figures are exactly alike as each is unique and is delicately hand-painted.
My girls absolutely love playing with our first 3 pieces which consist of a 4 1/2″ tall Pink Unicorn, an adorable Gray Tabby Cat and a playful little Golden Retriever puppy so I can see why other parents, educators and therapists all rave about their own Safari teaching toys. My kids get right down on the ground or in their sand trays and go to town playing and don’t even know that they are strengthening their developmental skills and engaging in good ole imaginative play!
