Toys have played a crucial role in enhanced children’s lives, and this has always been considered as vital to their development. Museums and libraries that display toys, the world over, have chronicled shifts in social thinking and the popularity of fads, from time to time. The toys that are currently available are very dissimilar from the ones that existed in the ancient past. However, the end they seek to serve has not changed: bringing joy to children, and aiding children in learning and developing hand-eye coordination.
Toys bring enchantment and adventure to the learning process, whether it’s about life, or about how things function or about living harmoniously, in society. Selecting toys that encourage healthy play habits will encourage the growth of kids’ social, cognitive, and physical attributes. Toys should be open-ended so as to boost creativity and imagination in kids. Usually these are the type of toys children return to, again and again.
Children are naturally inquisitive and interested about what’s gong on around them. They are keen to learn and develop their thinking skills and logical sense. They imbibe by action, like to do things over and over, and love surprises, which they enjoy coming back to over and over again.
When you see kids at play, you are able to observe they are busy thinking, endeavoring to find things out, for themselves, getting to the root of solutions to problems and being creative and spontaneous in their solutions. And when you provide enriching experiences that stimulate their senses and spark their curiosity, you help promote an interest in learning that lasts a lifetime.
