The importance of toys

As they grow up, children have different needs; they change their clothes and their food. But one thing remains the same: their pleasure to play. Games make children become active and attentive. They stimulate their senses, make them curious and determine them to know the world.

In addition, games prepare children for the next lessons. It is estimated that, once the child has reached 5 years, 90% of his mental patterns are already formed. So the key is that children should earn as much as they are small.

When I play with David, I spend wonderful moments and, at the same time, I help him to learn as much as possible. Usually I choose toys which make him pleasure, which attract him. At his age, David prefers toys that produce sounds, have many colors and lights.

There are famous those toys which reproduce animal sounds or other sounds of nature. Equally interesting are those who help children to learn letters and words.

I have noticed that in the relationship of David with his toys there are certain stages:

1. In a first stage, he gets familiar with the new toy, he observes it, and sometimes he is even a bit afraid of it (especially the toys that make noise).

2. The next step is to try the new toy- he takes it in his hands and makes a research closely to know it better.

3. In this stage he decides if he likes the toy or not. If it's interesting enough for him, David will always play with it. If it isn’t, he will leave it and he won’t use it too often in his games. Thus, he has a few favorite toys-especially cars and other toys which are not so interesting to him.
