Consider a learning and educational toy — not only are they fun to play with, but they also help to develop cognitive and motor skills. We rounded up the top-rated options for 5-year-old children. These choices will help your child discover interests and challenge themselves. It's the best of both worlds! Take a look.

B Toys Symphony in B Orchestra

A virtual orchestra pit, B. Toys's Symphony in B ($55) is preprogrammed with 15 songs and symphonies. It comes with 13 instruments that can be added one at a time to the "stage" to actually create the music. So if the tuba, piano, and violin are on stage, the song sounds different than it does if the sitar, cymbals, and clarinet are there.
