For kids development fun time is equally important along with their studies. Rather it is much better to teach them through art and craft. It helps them to learn and remember things for longer period. For my daughter I got some classroom management products from https://www.hyglossproducts.com/back-to-school-activity-2 as her birthday gift. She is enjoying playing with them and has learnt to point out the colors and bugs name by their pictures.
