All About Discmos
Open-ended, educational, creative...and much more!
Discmos are an exciting new addition to the developmental toy market, spurred
by the growing body of research on the benefits of open-ended, child-directed
play. Discmos combine classic educational toy characteristics with a free-form,
versatile design that captivates children and offers them limitless possibilities
for play, learning and fun.
But how exactly do they “work?”
Any way, and no specific way, in the spirit of truly open-ended toys that leave
room for imagination, interpretation and personalization. Discmos are “tools”
– fuel for imaginative, intrinsically-motivated play.
Hand a set to a kid (or adult!) and you will see:
- stacking
- sorting
- twirling
- rolling
- counting
- organizing
- memorizing
- trading
- collecting
- filling
- dumping
- and on, and on...
You might witness spontaneous games, elaborate trading, pretend play with Discmos
as coins, game pieces, medals, or pirate treasures...you can even use them yourself
to interact, educate or imagine along with your kids.
The textured, durable discs feature whimsical, full-color illustrations and
names of animals, vehicles, household, play and neighborhood objects, fantasy
characters and more – helping kids visualize, verbalize, sort, match and
classify by various criteria (color, category, relationships). But the real
value of Discmos – as is so often the case with things that fascinate
children and stir their imaginations – lies in their simplicity, adaptability,
sensory pleasure and creative fun that kids can make their own.
Discmos are the kind of toy that kids return to over and over, finding yet
more uses each time, adapting them as they grow and acquire new skills. As they
play, their imagination and creativity will flourish, along with opportunities
to sharpen their abilities in various developmental areas:
- cognitive
- sorting
- grouping
- matching
- creating uses
- language
- naming
- memorizing
- object recognition
- fine motor
- stacking
- spinning
- tossing
- rolling
- social
- interacting
- collecting/trading
- discussing

“When looking for toys
that will help your child develop imagination, look for those that lead
to open-ended play, not only allowing for, but rewarding the child's
creativity. It is precisely this type of imaginative play that many
child development experts recognize as helping prepare a child's mind
for learning facts and figures as well as preparing his or her mind
for life.”
-John Lee, President and CEO of Learning
Curve International.

A “well-rounded” toy:
Discmos are unique because there are no specific rules or pieces,
and children can play with a hundred, ten or even just one. They are not specifically
an educational toy, or a manipulative, nor are they purely an open-ended toy,
or just a fun sensory toy. Discmos combine it all, giving children the chance
to use them as they want, in combination with other toys or everyday objects,
and get out of them what they need or want to “work on” at the moment.
The benefits: Discmos…
- Encourage open ended, child-led play
- Stimulate the senses and the imagination
- Sharpen developmental skills: language, cognitive, motor, and social
- Promote interaction between parents and kids and among peers
- Are safe, durable, easy to clean
- Are collectible and scalable
- Are made in the U.S.A.

“Children put the most
energy into newly emerging skills. Activities of moderate novelty tend
to be the most interesting and the most fun…once a child has mastered
something, she will want to repeat it to wallow in her success, but
eventually she will begin to grow bored, either changing the activity
slightly to keep it interesting, or moving on to something else.”
-Dr. Alan Greene, MD, FAAP, Author From
First Kicks to First Steps.

Along with their developmental and creative uses, Discmos can be a great resource
to parents, helping them find the “moderate zone of development”
that Dr. Alan Greene, renowned pediatrician, author, speaker and expert on children’s
health and development, has coined to describe the ideal level of challenge
where children learn the best: not too easy, not too hard.
While toys with specific play functions or narrowly defined uses provide only
a limited window for this zone, Discmos offer kids the unique opportunity to
use them exactly how they wish at any given time. By observing their play, parents
can determine what skills they’re working on, what they need help with
and what they’ve accomplished – all the while understanding their
kids better and further helping them grow and thrive.
Discmos can go anywhere – inside or out, in the house or on the go! Kids
stash them in their pockets, store them in containers found around the house,
and yes, scatter them all over the house (an unexpected benefit: stepping on
the flat discs is far more comfortable than landing on say, angular blocks).
Discmos’ compact size and varied utility makes them a natural choice for
vacations or family outings, and their durable construction can withstand much
of what children throw at them: water, sand, mud or snow, for hours of exploration
and fun on the go.
And last but certainly not least – Discmos will provide constructive
play and pure joy for children of all ages for years and years, even generations.
Their varied themes, rich colors and illustrations by gifted artists stir kids’
innate desire to save and trade, providing ample opportunities to build collections
and engage in the earliest negotiations with peers, and inspiring pride of ownership
in the great tradition of longtime childhood treasures such as coins or baseball
cards.
