As the competition among school and college students intensifies, parents are increasingly prioritizing their children's cognitive development from an early age. This shift in consumer mindset has transformed the perception of toys from mere sources of amusement to critical tools for child development. As a result, the global educational toys market has experienced a surge in sales over the past few years. Tech-savvy parents today possess greater awareness of the plethora of options available in the educational toys market, with a focus on toys designed to nurture children's mental and physical capabilities.
