100 of the best educational toys for Christmas

Looking for great Christmas presents? TheSchoolRun team have picked 100 of the best educational toys, from maths games to spelling challenges, chemistry sets to telescopes. Every single one of them offers hours of fun and lots of learning to children aged 4 to 11. Don't do your present buying until you've read it!

All too often must-have toys are five minutes' wonder, and the cardboard box can sometimes offer more play value than the toy. That's why we've selected 100 brilliant educational toys which guarantee family fun and enjoyment as well as boosting your child's vocabulary, reinforcing numeracy and stimulating creativity. This Christmas morning will your child be setting up a domino rally, conducting a kitchen science experiment or building an electrical circuit? With so many learning toys for EYFS, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, Father Christmas will find it easy to choose the right gifts!

Testimonials

I’m not on social media but just wanted to reach out and say I have been recommending you to everyone I know, with kids of course!

Your site has been fantastic. It’s not only teaching my little one things, it’s showing me how things should’ve been done when I was younger. I do wish you were around then, as your content is fantastic and my little boy looks forward to your daily worksheets. Learning definitely made fun.

People are so quick to moan these days, so I wanted to send an email to sing my praises. You’ve helped me become more organised with the schedule of things, but without the pressure I was putting myself under before. We have fun and learn.

- Katie, Sevenoaks

I'm finding your site an absolutely fantastic resource alongside the stuff being sent from my son's school. We love being able to keep track of his progress on his Learning Journey checklist!

- Claire, Kent

Thank you so very much for all the help your site is giving myself to aid my daughter's education at home. Truly, it makes her day enjoyable, structured and continuous.

- Julie, Northamptonshire

‘The daily resources programme is absolutely brilliant. I am really very impressed with the quality of these worksheets.’
