Magic Work Books

Educational toys are much more than just fun activities—they're a real boost for your child's development. Especially in early childhood, children learn at a rapid pace, and they do so through play. Whether stacking building blocks, sorting colors and shapes, or experimenting with music and sounds—every game brings new insights and promotes important skills.

Especially from the age of 1, when curiosity and the urge to explore are really taking off, it's worth looking at meaningful toys. Educational games help children learn numbers, letters, and basic concepts like cause and effect – all without pressure.

In this category, you'll find a wide selection of toys that are not only fun but also deliver real learning results. Whether for babies, preschoolers, or elementary school children, you'll find the right toy for every age group and every interest.

Playful learning: How it works

Children love to play – and this is precisely their greatest superpower when it comes to learning. Because for them, play isn't a pastime, but the most natural way to discover the world. Educational toys tap into this curiosity and transform it into meaningful learning experiences – without any pressure or boredom.

Learning begins with curiosity

Babies as young as one year old begin to experience their surroundings with all their senses. They grasp things, tap, throw, listen—and learn in the process, completely automatically. When they explore a motor skills toy or try out a motor skills cube, they playfully develop their fine motor skills, improve their coordination, and practice their first logical connections.

In toddlerhood, we continue with colors, shapes, numbers, and letters. Puzzles, abacus, and building blocks suddenly become fun and promote important cognitive skills—true to the motto: play first, understand later.

Educational toys create experiences

Children learn best when they're allowed to be hands-on. Educational games offer precisely this opportunity: create, experiment, make mistakes, and learn from them. Whether in kindergarten or at home, playing together creates small successes that have a lasting impact.

Products made of wood or with Montessori-inspired elements offer a particularly wide range of variety and sensory stimulation. Whether discovering music, learning math, or recognizing first words – there are hardly any areas in which educational toys cannot be used effectively.

Learning can (and should!) be fun

The great thing is: your child often doesn't even realize they're learning something while playing. And that's precisely what makes educational toys so valuable—they combine fun with real learning outcomes.

The advantages of educational toys at a glance

Educational toys aren't just any toys—they're a clever blend of fun, variety, and targeted support. They support children's development on many levels and ensure that learning can take place in a playful and relaxed way. And the best part: You don't have to know any educational concepts by heart—the toys do the work for you.

Promotes important skills – without even realizing it

With the right educational toys, children train their motor skills, sharpen their senses, and develop cognitive abilities. A motor skills toy or puzzle not only promotes concentration, but also logical thinking and perseverance. When your child calculates with number blocks or tries out sounds with a musical toy, a basic understanding of math or sounds is laid in a playful way – perfect for preschool or elementary school.

Individual learning depending on age

Whether it's a baby, toddler, or schoolchild, educational toys are tailored to each age group. For the littlest ones, there are products with simple shapes and large handles, ideal for ages 1 and up. In kindergarten or later, more complex games and themes come into play: letters, numbers, early reading, music, nature—the possibilities are endless. Use our filters to search for the right age recommendation.

Really practical in everyday life

Educational toys take the pressure off you as a parent because they enable your child to learn independently – and do so with genuine fun. Many products are made of high-quality wood, are durable, safe, and sustainable. A good price-performance ratio also ensures that you're investing in valuable toys that will provide long-lasting enjoyment.

Age-appropriate learning: Which toys are suitable for which age?

Children develop at their own pace – and that's precisely why it's so important that educational toys are appropriate for each developmental stage. The right toy at the right time can work wonders and provide your child with the best possible support throughout their childhood. Here, we'll show you what to look for depending on their age group.

From 1 year: Discover and understand

At this age, children are above all curious and want to explore their world with all their senses. Early motor skills toys, simple puzzles, colorful activity tables, or a motor skills cube are perfect for this. Recognizing shapes, learning to grasp, and discovering colors – these are just the things for little explorers. Make sure you use safe materials like wood and choose a design that's sturdy and child-friendly.

Preschool age: Learning through play with a system

At kindergarten age, children are ready for more complex tasks. This is when learning games with numbers, letters, or music come into play. Whether it's an abacus, a number set, or our magical exercise books – children begin to understand the first connections and want to think for themselves. The focus here is on learning math, language, and logical thinking through play. It's also worth taking a look at our products based on Montessori principles.

Primary school: Applying and deepening knowledge

Now it's getting more concrete: Children not only want to discover new things, but also apply what they've learned. Educational toys support independent learning, structuring, and planning – for example, with a children's weekly planner or themed sets on nature, technology, or language. More complex puzzles or creative toys now also promote concentration, logical thinking, and perseverance – perfect for true tinkerers.

A 3D pen is also worthwhile for creative children and parents!

Material & workmanship – quality you can see and feel
