frequently did.
4. What is your favourite Traditional Fairytale story?

yes, I think they need to have both, but they dont have to be mutually exclusive you have educational toys which are really fun!

He learnt his alphabet by the age of 3 and like word play games etc from about the same age

entertainment, fun, longevity (i.e. doesnt break and doesnt 'go out of fashion' so can be used by siblings too
9. Do you think there are too many educational toys?
I think there are many educational toys that do not capture the imagination of children, but only fulfil the guilt-trip of hard working parents who do not think they are involved enough. I think there is a lack of good quality, truly fun (entertaining and engaging) educational toys.
10. Would you prefer your child to use a traditional toy instead of computers?
Yes, for the most part- it depends on the age - you want them to develop motoneuron(?) skills, language, imagination etc before being wedded to technology, but I dont think computers or electronic toys should be utterly excluded from a child's range of toys or development
