Nilo Tables and Accessories – the Perfect Play Space for Toy Trains, Blocks and More

Nilo tables and accessories are the perfect fit for all of your child’s favorite wooden trains, building blocks, and Lego or Duplo items. Activity tables are ideal for teaching kids numerous important developmental skills. Manipulating age-appropriate toys builds fine motor skills; while putting together a train set or building with blocks stimulates the imagination and develops problem-solving abilities. And of course, the best part is that several children can play together, learning to cooperate and share while they have fun.

The following are some of the most popular Nilo tables and accessories:

1. Nilo Multi-Activity table: This large activity table is designed with double-sided melamine play surfaces and solid hardwood frames and legs. All edges are rounded and smooth to prevent injuries; the Nilo-exclusive "holes" around the table rim accommodate expansion accessories which allow kids to set up a wooden train layout that extends beyond the edges of the table. The Multi-Activity table comes with a free Nilo graphic play mat that is the perfect backdrop for a Thomas the Tank Engine layout, as well as other popular toy trains.
2. Nilo Block tables are identical in design to the multi-activity table, except that they are ½ the size. Unlike other activity tables, both Nilo tables allow children to sit with their legs underneath. This popular item comes with 2 free Nilo Block-Building mats, which are both Lego and Duplo compatible; these can also be purchased separately in both blue or green.
3. The 24-inch leg kit works with both tables and can be used to raise the height to accommodate older, taller children.
4. The roll-out storage bin, which works with both tables, comes with two panel dividers and is perfect for holding wooden trains, blocks and other toys when the table is not in use. The fixed casters allow kids to push the storage bin underneath the table for convenient storage when playtime is over.
5. Nilo block building mats accommodate either Lego or Duplo blocks. These hugely popular mats allow children to create entire cities out of their favorite interlocking blocks. Unlike similar mats from other manufacturers, the Nilo block building mats hold blocks securely until kids are ready to take their creations apart and start over again.
6. The Nilo Graphic Playmat, which is included free with the purchase of an activity table, is also available for purchase separately and adds a “realistic” touch to a wooden train layout or a building block “city.”

Estate Wagon Pedal Car

Schoenhut My First Piano - Give the Gift of Music This Holiday Season

The importance of music in child development

Music is an important part of our lives, impacting us on a deeper level than most people realize. More than just a form of entertainment or artistic expression, music plays a big role in cognitive function and neurological development. A wide body of research has shown that music can promote the development of brain cells in infants while they are still in the womb. Newborns who are exposed to music from an early age tend to develop stronger cognitive abilities than other infants, and any parent knows that even the fussiest baby can be soothed by singing to them or playing their favorite tunes.

In older children, music helps to build creativity, encourages curiosity, and develops cognition, memory and spatial reasoning skills, not to mention improving hand-eye coordination. Children who are exposed to music tend to perform better in school, and kids who take music lessons typically have better comprehension skills overall, as well as achieving higher grades in math-related subjects. Some simple ways that parents can help foster a love of music in their children is to play classical music in the home, offer music lessons for older children, and provide a variety of musical toys such as pianos, guitars or percussion instruments for younger kids.

The best toy piano for small children

The Schoenhut My First Piano is the perfect way to introduce your older baby or toddler to the world of music. Available with 18 or 25 keys, these beautiful tabletop instruments can help your child develop hand-eye coordination, as well as important reasoning and problem-solving skills, all while enjoying the fun of banging out a noisy “tune.”

Unlike the cheap toy pianos available on discount toy store shelves, these instruments are designed using German steel music rods, which create a lovely chime-like tone when your little one strikes the keys. The wide keys are ideal for toddlers who are still developing manual coordination and allow for an easy transition to full-sized instruments later on. Both toy piano sizes come in pink, red and white and are available now for holiday shipping.
