Even though I have a degree in education, I still have a challenge at the holiday season when trying to buy good presents for my nieces and nephews. I always hope that I’m buying something fun AND educational. I think the advice provided on this podcast is a great benefit to anyone with doubts on their purchases as well as information on what a educational toy is. http://earlyed.newamerica.net/blogposts/2012/podcast_what_makes_a_toy_educational-74637
