Award-winning educational brand Beleduc offers a range of STEM and educational toys from puzzles to board games and magnetic boards. Board game Torreta has two difficulty levels depending on the age of the children playing. For two to four players using colours and numbers, children build corresponding towers out of the blocks, encouraging the development of children's strategic thinking, engineering, and mathematic skills, suitable for ages four-plus. Beleduc also features a range of Magnetic Drawing Boards, the original red board uses a magnetic pen and little metal balls to form cool pictures that can easily be removed for hours of entertainment; also available in a travel-sized version for onthe-go fun. The Bright Colours version has five different colours included and inspiration cards for colourful picture creations, with the Letters version bringing more of an educational aspect, teaching little ones how to structure their letters when learning to write.

Beleduc also boasts a range of educational puzzles. Cognito’s aim is to get children thinking logically and recognising similarities or opposites in a series of images. Nawito is a difficulty level up from Cognito and focuses more on natural sciences and processes.

Preschoolers will love the Hama Maxi Bead Sets, which come with 10mm diameter beads that are ideal for littler fingers that aren’t so practised in fine motor skills. A great place to start are the Maxi Blister Packs, which offer great value – both in terms of cost and play value.

For a next-level developmental challenge, children aged five-plus will enjoy the 3D Hama Midi Sets, which come with all the items you’d expect from a Hama set – colourful beads, pegboard, design guide and ironing
