Back-to-school means back to classroom learning, but who says kids can’t learn at home, as well? Educational toys can get kids learning at home, even after school and on the weekends, not to mention rainy or snowy vacation days. With two of the best new educational toys for fall, we can be ready for those “I’m bored” days!

Primary Science™ Leap & Launch Rocket
Budding scientists, get ready to blast off! Younger learners will enjoy countless adventures in early space science while building gross motor skills with this perfect first rocket.
