Children & educational toys sometimes go together like oil and water. As parents, grandparents and caregivers, we've all spent many frustrating hours in search of educational toys for kids that won't end up at the back of the closet or the bottom of the toy box. If an object has no play value (and this is true of an educational toy, your pots and pans or the cat's tail) it's not going to keep a child engaged long enough for them to benefit from any educational value that it might have.

Five Star Educational Toys has gathered only those learning toys that have received the highest ratings from parents, grandparents, and sometimes, even the kids themselves. Their reviews will help take the guesswork out of buying age appropriate toys that teach. Whether you're looking for educational games, math toys, science toys or educational DVD's that will help stimulate little brains, we have a hand-picked selection to choose from. In addition you'll find information on stages of child development throughout the site to help guide you.
