Being a Muslim parent, I realize the importance of the selection of products for your child. From the very beginning, it is vital to purchase products that are suitable for a Muslim, as early childhood development has an impact on the personality of your child. Toys are an important part of your child's growth and development, in particular for teaching and stimulating the child's cognitive and linguistic skills. An Islamic shop can cater to the needs of your child's growth and development as there are numerous toys available which aid the parents and other care givers in providing the child the proper reinforcement which helps in developing his skills to their optimum level.
Today as the awareness is increasing in parents about the positive results of these toys and tools, there are more toy makers which are coming up with creative and innovative educational toys for children. In particular these trends can be seen in religiously active sectors of the society which want to coach and groom their child according to the teachings of their religion. An Islamic shop is the best place to find educational toys that not only entertain but also help your child learn about the basics of the religion from very early childhood.
Teaching your child can be turned into a fun and interactive experience by a series of DVD's titled "Adam's World", which features a small Muslim puppet going through the day to day routines of life and learning about the fundamentals of Islam. This series of movies can be attained from your local Islamic shop. Other such movies are also available that can teach your child about the different aspects of Islam in a fun narrative and interactive way.
For older children, there are slightly more complex educational toys available at your local Islamic shop. These include Islamic computers, which teach the children how to read and recite the Quran with proper Arabic accent and also have various other teaching software's that teach and quiz your child about the teachings of Islam. There are also certain Hadith games available which allow the children to play together with friends and take challenges. The wooden puzzles that teach Arabic alphabets and small Arabic words to young children are also very popular amongst the Muslim parents and can be easily purchased at any Islamic shop.
So then why go to a regular toy shop when the best educational toys are available at an Islamic shop!

Another year has rushed by us and with a blink we are at the door step of 2010. This coming year as with the last and the next we will be put in the position of looking for the most suitable products and learning toys for our children.
In the past we may have forgone purchasing some of the newer educational toys and instead choosing an older style but proven toy or game such as building blocks or another type of wooden toy. This is always a safe option, better the devil you know... and these toys are great, there's no doubting that.
In 2010 and onwards as technology increases and the number of educational products suitable for children grow as well as the demand for high quality and unique toys and games. These products are designed in a way that without noticing the children are being stimulated and their abilities tested this creating entertainment for them and satisfying our need for their development. Educational toys like the Diego toys (go-diego-go) 4 in a box Jigsaw Puzzles kit which contains 4 different puzzles each has progressively more pieces starting at 12 pieces and progressing through 16, 20 and finally 24 pieces, as well as being of high quality and being illustrated beautifully they are made from recycled board which is good for the environment.
In 2010 look for the best children's educational toys that are both a bit different and provide the same level of stimulation as an older style toy and your kids will love you for it.
Toddlers are such loveable little ones. Always filled with adventure and filled with enough energy to make a commercial for the little energizer bunny! It is important to fill these years with educational wooden toys to help with the child's motor skills. Hand/eye color coordination, finger dexterity, and non-sequential stacking capability can all be measured with many wooden toys.
Wooden stacking toys are a wonderful toy for toddlers. Toddlers will enjoy the bright colors and improve the hand/eye coordination with wooden stacking toys. Some of the best wooden stacking toys that I like are the hamburger and sandwich wooden stacking toys. Even some adults enjoy these good old fashioned wooden stacking toys.
Wooden building blocks are an old toy that has been a favorite by many young children. Wooden building blocks help to develop dexterity, problem-solving and reasoning skills, hand/eye coordination, color, shape, size identification and also be lots of fun. Some blocks are all natural and other blocks are different colors.
Wooden push toys are a must have toy for the little energetic toddler. Wooden push and pull toys are helpful for balance and will keep the toddler focused as they are learning to walk. These wooden toys will keep them walking and walking! Little wooden wagons are also a great toy for toddlers. These little wagons help a child learn to walk while pulling something behind and also helps the toddler learn to navigate turns while walking and pulling a toy. Toddlers will enjoy putting all their little "goodies" in a wooden wagon and then proudly walking around pulling their little wooden wagon.
Toddlers love to make noise. One good thing about a toddler is you know where they are when you can hear them, but when it is quiet......you know that it is time to start checking things out! Another old wooden toy that toddlers love is a wooden hammer and peg set. I still have mine that I received for my first birthday. It is now setting on a shelf for display. This little set has wooden dowel rods and a wooden hammer that the child can pound and then turn the game over and start pounding again. The best one that I have seen has a small leather strap which attaches the hammer to the peg set so the hammer does not get separated. My daughter has this set at her daycare center and it is a game that is played with often. It is interesting to watch the eyes of the toddler light up when seeing their accomplishment of pounding the pegs through.
Toddlers love toys, but just having a toy is not enough. Make it an educational, wooden toy and learn to bring out the creativity in your child with a unique, wooden toy!

Bronze Sculpture
Using bronze to make a metal sculpture results in a sculpture that is just called a bronze. Bronze sculptures are the most popular type of sculptures. Artists that specialize in making human figures often will do them in bronze because bronze is the best material to use for a statue or a sculpture that is highly detailed.
One of the reasons that bronze is a material that sculptors like to work with is because bronze has a unique characteristic. When bronze is heated and poured into a mold or a cast of the statue or sculpture it will expand just before it hardens. That expansion usually will fill in any extra fine details or ornate sculpting that the artist has created so that the artist can create extremely detailed sculptures.
Even though making bronze sculptures is very popular among artists the process of making an actual bronze can be complicated. Sculptors usually use the lost wax cast method to create wax models of the artwork that they want to produce first to make sure that they have the design right.
Lost wax casting is a tedious process but a very important one in making bronzes. First the artist will make a full scale model of the statue or sculpture, usually in plastic. A mold is made from that plastic model. That mold is usually made from plaster and will serve as the master version of the statue.
Once there is a plaster mold that is empty the artist will pour hot wax into that mold and let it set. Once the wax hardens that figure is removed and checked for any mistakes or problems. If that figure is perfect then another mold is made around that figure that has vents. Then the max is melted to liquid form and then is released as vapor through the vents in the model. Finally the molten bronze is poured into the mold. Once it has set, the sculpture is ready to be displayed or to be polished with a little more detailing.
Bronze is the material of choice for any sculptor that creates human statues or statues that are in action poses. Bronze is much more durable than most of the other metals used for sculpting because it holds up well under most conditions and it is not as soft or as breakable as other types of metal.
Bronzes are all very popular when making sculptures for home decoration. A lot of artists that want to sell home decor items use a bronze process known as ormolu. Ormolu is the process of gilding a bronze sculpture like a wall sconce for candles, or a sculptural element that is going to be used in a lamp or on a table.
Ormolu first become popular in France in the 18th century but is still used a lot today by sculptors that want to make fun sculptures that are useful and pretty to have in the home as well.
Every year there's a story in the news about toddlers who were injured while playing with the latest, greatest toy of the season. Even when the toy is marked as suitable for children ages 3 or younger, the result is disastrous.
As you can imagine, the parent or grandparent who purchased the toy is devastated about this accident. This year, there has been an onslaught of recalls for toddler toys. How is a parent supposed to predict the danger and protect their child from unsafe toys they might put under the Christmas tree?
You can expect that anything in a toddler's hand is eventually going into the mouth. No matter how carefully you supervise playtime, toddlers have slight of hand down to a fine art. Keep in mind these basic toddler toy shopping rules:
1. If it's a soft toy, like a Sesame Street Plush Toy, make sure it's washable.
2. Twist the eyes, buttons or any protruding decorations to determine if they're securely attached. Toy manufacturers are suppose to use items that have specific safety attachments, but can you count on that with all of the horror stories about imported toys?
3. Fabric toys must be made with flame resistant or flame retardant fabrics. Check the label and if you don't see these terms, don't buy it.
4. Painted toys, whether plastic or wood, need to be made with lead-free paint. The dangers of lead ingestion for small children are critical and lead to life-long damage. Again, there are concerns with toys imported from China that do not meet the lead-free standards of American made toys. The Fisher Price Elmo Learning Fun Laptop is a safe, fun option for little ones!
5. Crayons or finger-paints must be non-toxic. Red paint looks as tasty to a toddler as red cake icing. Look on the label for this notation: ASTMD-4236. This verifies that the color product was approved by the American Society for Testing and Materials.
6. Look inside any box or compartment of a toy to make sure there are no smaller, unattached pieces. Anything small that can fit inside a paper towel roll is a choking hazard.
7. If the toy makes a noise, make sure it has an "off" switch. That will help you remain friends with the parents who won't be thrilled waking up from a sound sleep to the sound of toy honking.
Most important to remember is to stay within the recommended age guidelines. Your two year old may be the next math genius, but his developmental age means he'll act like a two year old and place small parts in his mouth or have difficulty manipulating the objects for a more advanced game. These guidelines come from the Consumer Product Safety Commission based on years of research and continued testing. Be a smart adult and choose an age appropriate toy.
Using the best free eCover design is the option smart business people should take.
Marketing any product these days require that it come in an eye catching package to attract the attention of would-be customers. The success of any product almost entirely depends on its package's presentation alone. But coming up with the best package requires that you contract with a high caliber graphic designer or purchase your own graphic software. Unfortunately these options have a very great disadvantage to you. What are these disadvantages?
Hiring a good graphic designer demands a great price which starting up entrepreneurs like you might not have or is not willing to spend. Also, graphic designers are a demanding lot. They will ask outrageous rate for a single cover design. If you want this design to be change; that is going to cost you additional bucks.
What about purchasing your own graphic software? Purchasing your own graphic software might seem such a good idea at first. But once you start designing a package using the software; that is when the problem starts. Even with the best manual included with the software, you still may not figure out how to effectively utilize the application. And you have to admit, most of the people around are not born with artistic gifts. So obviously buying graphic software is just going to be a waste of money and time.
The best thing to do is to get free eCover design on the net. Getting a design template that looks like it was professionally made is easy nowadays because they are offered free from some notable sites. So if you're smart, you'd best take this option.
