Spring is here! It's time to get out the outdoor toys and enjoy the sunshine. If you're looking for activities to keep your children busy outside the house, away from the screens, Moulin Roty presents the spring collection "Le Jardin du Moulin", games and toys that will help your child discover nature while having fun.
These toys are designed and adapted to children. Some will prefer to learn how to garden in the vegetable garden, while others will go on an adventure to observe the plants and animals around them.
We are going to introduce you to activities that are sure to please children who love to play outside. Enriching activities, to be practiced independently or as a family. Indeed, gardening can also be a moment of complicity between the child and the parents or grandparents. The adult transmits knowledge that will serve the child throughout his life.
Introducing children to gardening
Your child doesn't like vegetables? Gardening can be a great idea to change his mind! Indeed, if he grows his own vegetables, he will surely want to eat them. The child learns to dig, and then sows the seeds. He must remember to water his plantations regularly, so that he can finally harvest the fruits and vegetables when they are ripe.
Your child will marvel, day after day, at the growth and ripening of fruits or vegetables. This educational activity allows the child to take responsibility for watering the plants every day. Gardening is also an activity that will allow your child to develop patience and knowledge by learning the names of different plants.
A good gardener needs to be well-equipped, which is why Melissa & Doug offers its Giddy Buggy Gardening Set. It contains a shovel, rake and sprayer - made of easy-to-clean plastic, in a durable, brightly patterned fabric tote bag.
The little botanist's kit
Looking for a gift idea for a child who loves nature? Moulin Roty offers activities to discover insects and plants, suitable for budding botanists.
Discover the "Flower Press" set from the "Le Jardin du Moulin" collection. After picking flowers or leaves, your child will have fun drying them, using this pretty illustrated press, to make a nice herbarium.
The little explorer's kit
Your child is more of an explorer, looking for adventure? Moulin Roty invites you to discover its exploration-themed toys.
To go on an expedition, it is essential to be equipped with a compass to be able to find your way easily. Thanks to this object, your child will be able to develop his sense of orientation. There is also the Explorer's Monocular, to observe nature and animals from a distance, without disturbing them in their natural habitat.
Board games and creative activities on the theme of nature
Moulin Roty has also developed a range of garden-themed board games with superb illustrations.
Children can play Vegetable Memo, an educational game consisting of boards to be completed with 36 illustrated cards of vegetables, to be recognized outside or in the ground, whole or cut in half. For older children, we recommend Nature Memo, a memory game for children from 4 years old.
This spring collection also includes an observation and speed game called "Treasures of the Garden", in which your child will have fun finding the 200 objects on the beautifully illustrated board.
To end the day in style and stimulate the imagination
Discover an original way to tell stories with the Le Jardin du Moulin story lamp. Supplied with 3 discs telling 3 different tales on the theme of nature, this pretty torch-lamp will take your child to a country world.
Easy to use, just insert a disc into the lamp and turn it on. On a wall or ceiling, the images are projected. To scroll the images, you simply turn the disc with your finger and the story comes to life. Your little one can also participate and play the narrator in turn.
