Wow! Kid's Story
A decade or two ago, most children grew up in villages with plenty of space to play and access to freely available play materials. However, today's society has changed significantly. Increased urbanization has led to high-rise apartments and more urban living, greatly reducing play areas for children. Most now spend their days indoors, with both parents working and children being cared for by busy house helps. This shift has resulted in children being raised by TVs, screens, and phones, consuming uncontrolled content that affects their cognitive development in numerous ways.
Recognizing these challenges, Wow! Kids Toys embarked on a mission to bring back the essence of growing and learning through play by providing engaging educational toys that promote cognitive growth, reduce TV time, and offer meaningful activities within limited play spaces.
The most effective way to teach and educate a child is through play, as children understand better when they are actively engaged. Wow! Kids Toys complements educators by providing wooden toys and physical teaching materials that help translate classroom concepts into tangible, engaging products. This approach makes it easier for educators to explain concepts and topics in more interesting and fun ways.
The advantages of teaching with toys in kindergarten and lower primary levels include enhanced learning, as toys make abstract concepts tangible, helping children grasp complex ideas more easily. Play-based learning keeps children interested and motivated, leading to increased engagement. Improved retention is another benefit, as children are more likely to remember lessons learned through hands-on activities. Additionally, social development is encouraged through group play, which promotes cooperation, sharing, and communication skills. Emotional growth is also facilitated, as play helps children express their emotions and develop empathy.
