If you are a mom then you understand the pressure most moms feel, especially when it comes to finding educational toys for your kids.

Raise well-rounded children.
Create a peaceful home.
Make sure your children have a great education.
Expose them to toys that will further their education.
Be perfect.
Okay, maybe the last one is a bit extreme. But it feels that way sometimes, doesn’t it? Especially when it comes to our child’s education.
You are failing if you’re not a perfect mother with super-smart kids who don’t spend their day watching television.
Or, If your kids aren’t the kindest, you’re failing.
If your home is not spotless, you’re failing.
You’re a horrible mother if your kid throws an epic tantrum in the grocery store over a piece of candy.
We all know those are lies. That doesn’t stop up from wanting to succeed, though, in the areas that are important.
Teaching our children can be difficult.
We want to surround them with as many educational toys as possible.
We all want our children to be exposed to ideas, toys, and activities that will further their education and allow them to have fun. Right?
What better way to do that than with the toys they play with?
Below is a roundup of educational toys from Amazon. All of these toys have over 4 stars AND are under $25. As a stay-at-home mommy, affordability is important to me!
We have personally used many of these toys on this list; I have researched the others in-depth and have my eye on them. (yes, I am a crazy reviewer of toys!)
Please keep in mind when I say learning, I say it in a broad sense. This list has toys ranging from learning ABCs and colors to being exposed to music and continents.
