Parents of young children this Christmas are looking for toys that will not just be fun to play with for their kids but will have added value.

Fortunately it seems that the various toy makers have heard the public and there are a wide selection of toys that fit the bill on this point. Here are some to help start your own search for educational toys.
The first toy to look for is the Fisher Price Smart Cycle Extreme. This toy meets all the wishes of a parent with a young toddler. It is a stationary bike so your child will be exercising while using it. It can be used to play video games and the trifecta it has a selection of educational games that will help expand your child's learning and preparation for school. The toy has already made a strong showing during the year and it looks like it will do so again during the holiday shopping season.
Another great toy for young kids is the V Tech Bugsy pen and reading system. This interactive pen works with special books to aid your child as he or she learns to read. The pen helps them to sound out words and even makes sound effects at key moments during the book. This fun item will help to make reading fun for even the most reluctant reader and help reinforce skills that will last them the rest of their lives.
The Leap Frog Text and Learn is the next level in fun learning computers. Actually it's a learning Blackberry. The Text and Learn imitates the design of most smart phones and plays all sorts of fun learning games from counting and math to alphabet and word games. Your child will have a great toy to play with at home or on long trips. This toy will definitely be one that child will play with often.
The Leap Frog Zippity High Energy learning system is a TV game learning system similar to Dance Dance Revolution. The system uses a mat and the child's feet do the work from playing games to dancing. The games which can be bought separately also teach learning basics. This is another great toy that combines physical exercise with fun and learning.
There are also other things you can do this holiday to make Christmas special for the kids. One of them a personalized letter from Santa. These letters can be ordered online. All you do is customize them with info about your child such as how they have been good during the year. Then you send in the order and the company mails the letter to your home complete with a special North Pole Post Mark. Another opportunity is a customized call from Santa. You once again customize the call online and your children get a surprising and magical call from Santa. Both of these ideas are great because your suspicious children will not be able to say that you were Santa this year and they will have no choice but to believe that he actually stopped by. This is just one of many ways that you can make Christmas unforgettable this year.
