We have chosen toys from our shop that can be used by children who have learning difficulties to develop and practise particular skills or knowledge. We have hightlighted these particular learning areas within the description of each toy. There are many other toys that would be great that we have included in other areas of the internet shop (and even more in our bricks-and-mortar shop). If you want to help your child learn a particular skill or knowledge and need further help, Sam is very happy to offer via phone or email. Sam is a trained teacher who taught children with a wide range of learning difficulties and children who also had additional needs.
