Pop Up Toys Pop up toys help the children with bonding, sharing and connecting with others. They can enjoy playing with the toy themselves but adds new dimensions when other peers and educators take turns. Cause and effect is the main concept as the children press to pop up objects they start to learn and gain an understanding on cause and effect. Colour recognition, shape recognition and learning the names of nouns and pro nouns are all learning objectives that could result from well executed scaffolding from childrens educators during their play.
