MANILA, Philippines - The new schoolyear is a good time to learn a new sport and engage in physical fitness activities to balance the hours spent sealed inside the classroom with books and computers. Time to flex those muscles!
Let’s bring back the days when kids can physically play and enjoy the outdoors and not just “play†games on their gadgets. Kids need to go out, spend their pent up energy outside of the house and socialize with other kids.
Early Learning Centre toy shops have the perfect toys for outdoor activities.
My first sports
My First Badminton has an instant pop-up net with a score chart, two rackets and two shuttlecocks, all in a handy bag.
With My First Basketball Set, your child can aim the inflatable ball at the foldaway net, indoors or outside, and look the part with a sports bib too.
Slides and pools
Baby Shade Pool has a comfy padded base for your baby to sit on and an adjustable sunshade. The shade pool comes in pink, blue, purple and orange.
Protect the babies from the sun with ELC’s UV Sun Tent, it’s an instant pop-up UV tent that keeps your baby safe on sunny days. With sand pockets for stability and a window at the back for ventilation. Comes with a handy storage bag and four pegs to secure the sun tent.
Let your kids zoom through the spraying Splash Tunnel on the inflatable body board, then splash into the landing pool. Definitely great for play dates.
Your child can also slide into the Splash and Slide Pool, splash around, and enjoy being sprinkled by the squirting whale. There is room for three or four three-year-olds in this fun pool.
Scooping and pouring, and lots of hands-on exploring. It’s great for discovering new textures and finding out ‘what happens when…’. The Sand and Water Table comes with 10 fun toys and a warerproof lid that doubles as a road. The Sand and Water table needs one bag of sand (sold separately).
Bubble party
One of the bestsellers, ELC’s Bubble Machine sends streams of bubbles into the air, ready to be chased. Your child can push the frog along and see bubbles come out of its mouth with the Push Along Bubble Blower. Bubble solutions are available separately.
Picnic time
ELC has great picnic toys, too. The Wooden Barbecue is suitable for kids three and up. It has a great play grill with a stick to turn, comes with spatula and fun wooden meat and veg to barbecue. Another fun toy for barbecue nights is the Sizzlin’ BBQ, which has sounds and comes with 11 accessories.
The Early Learning Centre toy shops are located on the ground floor of Active Fun Bldg. in Bonifacio High Street and level 3 of Greenbelt 5.
