Fisher-Price
Educational toys made by Fisher-Price are all about helping kids develop the motor skills they need in order to learn properly. Some of their products include the Laugh and Learn Smart Stages Puppy, the Song and Story Learning Chair, the Brilliant Basics Boppin' Activity Bugs (only on Amazon), and the Laugh & Learn Silly Sounds Light-up Piano. There's also a line of Imaginext Toys that are somewhat educational but are great for leading kids into more standard franchises, although the dinosaur toys can be referred to as "educational dinosaur toys". Imaginext included DC Superheroes, Spongebob, and normal adventure themes like pirates and dragons.
 
Playskool
Playskool toys in the best balance between making toys that are fun to play with for kids while also having aspects of helping kids learn about the alphabet and math. They have a line of Sesame Street toys, which includes the iconic Tickle Me Elmo. Elefun and Friends are made for the youngest children in mind. Hasbro's iconic Mr. Potato Head is a staple for the Playskool line, where kids can customize the rest of the body and make their favorite appearances. The Playskool Heroes line includes Transformers: Rescue Bots, Star Wars Galactic Heroes, Marvel Super Hero Adventures, and the recently included Power Rangers line. There are also the Mega Mighties, which include stylized figures with minimal articulation at the 12-inch line.

Leapfrog
These educational toys are great for kids to learn while enjoying some famous characters from different franchises. An offshoot of the VTech line, they include toys such as the My Peek-A-Boo LabPup, the Butterfly Counting Pal, and electronic devices where kids can interact with their favorite characters from different shows, including Frozen, PJ Masks, and Paw Patrol, all part of the LeapPad library.

Discovery Kids
There are both standard toys and educational dinosaur toys provided by Discovery Kids. These toys include dinosaur toys that can be controlled from an R/C controller, highly detailed versions of dinosaurs (albeit without articulation), fossil toys where kids can pretend to be a paleontologist, and even books where kids can learn about their favorite dinosaurs while also learning how to read books in general, complete with statistical information regarding each dinosaur such as their size and how they defended themselves (i.e. a Tyrannosaurus used sharp teeth, a Triceratops used its horns, and a pterodactyl used its wings for flight and its claws to grab objects).
