Is it true that educational toys boost toddlers' cognitive skills?
Unclear. Several reviews and essays suggest toys can support cognitive and learning-related development in children, but they address broader age ranges, describe potential rather than measured toddler cognitive gains, and none directly tests whether educational toys boost toddlers' cognitive skills.
