Toys are not necessarily always for fun non-sense, but sometimes they actually prepare kids for the future! When you step back and look at some toys from an education point of view, you can see the real world education these toys provide children. So the next time you purchase a toy for your child, take a minute and see if it will add some real world adult value.
1. Kitchen set
Teaches them what food to put on the grill, what goes in the oven or the stove. It prepares them to cook real food when they are older and that they have to clean the dishes once they are done using them.
2. Cash register
Toy cash registers are usually used for pretend grocery shopping. When kids have to pay for the "groceries" the pretend money will help them learn to count money in real life.
3. Plastic keys
Toy keys with a key fob prepare kids for their sweet 16 when they get behind the wheels of a real car.
4. Vacuum
Vacuums for little ones prepare kids for chores and cleaning the house when they are older (that way the parents can start to relax sometimes!).
5. Tool set
Help to prepare kids to fix objects when they are broken. They become familiar with the names of the tools and how to use them.
6. Hairdressing
Prepares kids how to style their own hair (which can save parents time in the morning ).
