The Best Mess-Free Educational Toys on Amazon

October 24, 2019 / 21 Comments

All of my kids really enjoyed having a variety of busy activities when they were toddlers and preschoolers. Having a variety of educational busy activities helps keep the boredom at bay and their little brains hard at work. However, I am not a big fan of messy toys so I have done some research and found some of the best, mess-free educational toys you can order on Amazon. These are all affordable, easy to pick up (the little ones can clean themselves) and wont damage anything if spilled.

Not only do I keep a variety of busy activities in the home, but I keep them stored away so that when I pull them out they are more exciting for my kids. I take them out of whatever box or bag they come in and instead I keep them in plastic bins so they are easy to clean up and store. When its time for the busy bins to come out, I put a few on the table and let the kids go from station to station. This can keep my 3 year old entertained for at least a couple hours at a time!

You don’t want to take all the busy bins out at the same time, try to mix it up and bring out 3-4 activities each time. Something sensory, something that uses motor skills, and something that allows for open-ended building or creating.

Kinetic sand is almost always an option on the table, it is Arlo’s favorite activity and you can add different things into the bin to make playtime more fun! This is usually our go-to sensory option.

Arlo also really enjoys activities that involve pinching and scooping (as do most toddlers and preschoolers) so having a variety of tools and things to use them on is always fun for them. These activities fullfill the motor skills option.

Finally, I like to have something that allows for open-ended building or creating on the table. This little light set is super fun for open-ended building. You can create shapes, sort colors, and use your imagination!

I usually put the busy bins out for a couple hours per day when Arlo is restless and needs something new to entertain himself. I have put together a list of all our favorite mess-free educational toys from Amazon to help you shop for your kids!
