My 5 yr old has both the Leap Pad and the V smile, nei­ther of which does she really play with. For her, she just needs a pen and some paper, her imag­i­na­tion is just amaz­ing, writ­ing sto­ries, sound­ing out the words and illus­trat­ing those sto­ries to make her own books.

Most kids really enjoy play­ing with themselves !!!!!!!!

The most impor­tant thing to remem­ber is that all child’s play is edu­ca­tional video games aside.
A child learns from their envi­ron­ment. By giv­ing your child toys (pretty much any) they learn cause and effect and work out all dif­fer­ent emo­tional and edu­ca­tional issues. Learn­ing to play a game. Using your imag­i­na­tion to play with pre­tend army sol­diers and build­ing a town out of lego are all things childen actu­ally play and learn tremen­dous amouts from.
To answer your ques­tion accu­rately I’d need to know the ages.
In addi­tion it depends on the childs inter­ests. Not all chil­dren like the same things.
Some chil­drens like build­ing toys.
Some chil­dren like more imag­nia­tive toys.
Some chil­dren like books and puz­zles etc.
What your child actu­ally enjoys depends on your child
and the age of your child.
Some great choices aside from com­puter or video
games not deemed most effec­tive edu­ca­tional tools
by most in the edu­ca­tional field are toys
that don’t make noise or run on bat­ter­ies.
In fact it is impor­tant for chil­dren to learn
to grat­ify them­self and use their brain as a tool
for enjoy­ment. That in itself is a great thing
for chil­dren to learn at a young age.
Some exam­ples of great toys are:
Ages 1.5–3.5 large stack­ing pegs by lauri
Ages 3–5 Tuba­tion (build­ing tubes by Quercetti)
Ages 3–5 Lego espe­cially the farm and other sets with real­is­tic pieces the child can relate to.
Ages 2–4 puz­zles that make sounds when done cor­rectly.
Very encour­ag­ing to be rewarded for doing it cor­rectly.
That is good for even chil­dren who usu­ally wouldn’t do a puz­zle.
Ages 3–8 best game of all time Zingo– pic­ture recog­nic­tion
and word recog­ni­tion. match­ing skills mem­ory skills pre read­ing skills
Ages 8 and up (boys espe­cially) elec­tronic kits by the com­pany elenco. Main one is called snap cir­cuits and teaches how to make all sorts of cir­cuits which the child
can later use in life. It is fun because the child makes fans and alarms, lights. All sorts of fun boy stuff!
Ages 3–9 a great puz­zle game that pro­motes con­cen­tra­tion and a mil­lion other skills are the mighty mind and super mind games. It’s a game that you have to fig­ure out which shapes to fit in a spe­cific pic­ture with­out being told which to use.
Ages 6 and up– the think fun game line exam­ple: Rush hour, shape by shape. mind bend­ing games.
