Plasma Car
Description: The Plasma Car is a mechanical marvel that makes use of that most inexhaustible of energy sources, kid-power, by harnessing the natural forces of inertia, centrifugal force, gravity, and friction. It's so easy to operate; all it needs is a driver and a smooth, flat surface. It provides kids with plenty of exercise, more so than most toys. And the Plasma Car is engineered to be absolutely safe when used appropriately. It's been extensively tested, and meets or exceeds all significant international safety standards.
The Plasma Car is adult-friendly, too. For starters, it doesn't require an expensive power source that needs constant replacement. No batteries, no power-cells, no liquid fuel-just the occasional cookie or two.
The Plasma Car can handle a load of 100 kg (220 lbs) on a smooth, flat surface, and 55 kg (120 lbs) on a rough, flat surface.

Dado is Special...and Spatial!
Visual Spatial Learning has captured the attention of scientists and educators as being highly valuable in child development. Visual Spatial Play refers to the ability to mentally picture things and is characterized by the ability to appreciate patterns & form in very large or small areas of space. Children with profuse Visual Spatial Intelligence can construct three-dimensional mental images and visual them from multiple perspectives. A keen eye for form, design, color, size, shape and space enables these gifted children to create realistic representations of real world images.
Dado’s simple design inspires complex thought.
In Tom West's book, In the Mind's Eye, he suggests that in the 21st Century, strong visual skills will be crucial elements to success: "Ready recognition of larger patterns, intuition, a sense of proportion, imaginative vision, the original and unexpected approach, and the apt connection between apparently unrelated things...". Through Dado's simple shapes and intuitive system of construction, people of all ages find Dado engaging.

What is an educational toy? - The market for educational toys registered a marked increase as the awareness in the importance of educational toys for child development evolved over the years. However, there is no standard definition of what constitutes an educational toy. Various groups of toys are promoted as "educational toys" from a marketing perspective. For instance, toys embedded with electronic chips are known as edutainment toys and promoted as educational toys in spite of their differencein from the traditional educational toys in the play value they offer. One important difference is, the former are largely close-ended and limited in the number of ways the child can play with; the later, on the other hand, stimulate imaginative play allowing the child to manipulate their use in a variety of ways. Kids Toy Club uses a standardized definition of educational toys as set by Drs. Dorothy and Jerome Singer of Yale University. They identify six elements of educational toys essential for child development. The six essential elements of educational toys - The six essential elements of educational toys are motor development, eye-hand development and vision, cognitive learning, social/emotional, creative/imaginative, and hearing/listening and voice. You will find that our toys are coded in any combinations of six colour pallets representing the six essential elements to help you easily identify their educational values. Our toy categories - Kids Toy Club carries select toys from reputable manufacturers and distributors conforming to the six essential elements of child development. Such toys include Meccano construction sets, FoxMind logic games, Melissa and Doug wooden toys, Elenco, Larsen puzzle toys, Battat, Parents toys, Uberstix construction sets, SpinMaster toys and other brands. A toy is simultaneously listed under a given category, age group and brand name, preventing a hit and miss in your product search. For example, a wooden toy is listed under Wooden Toys category, respective age as well as under its brand name all at the same time. Membership discounts - We offer our customers the added benefit of 15% discount for an annual membership fee of only $29.99. You can also work your way up to 10% free discount on your orders upon reaching certain levels of cumulative purchase. For instance, you will be automatically eligible for 5% discount for orders starting $65, and 10% for orders reaching $250 on regular priced items. |
