Children's educational toys

Development of a rich emotional world of a child is unthinkable without the existence of toys in it. They serve for him as a medium that allows you to express your feelings, explore the world around you, learn to communicate and know yourself.


The choice of toys by the child itself is internally conditioned by the same emotional motivations as the choice of adults by friends and loved ones. Each child should have a toy that he can complain, which he scolds and punishes, pities and comforts. It is she who will help him overcome the fear of loneliness, when parents go somewhere, the fear of darkness when the light turns off and one must fall asleep, but not alone, but with a toy-girl-friend. They are sometimes angry, they are punished and even broken, throwing into the far corner, but they are also remembered in moments of childish grief, get out of the corner and mend, finish blurred eyes and lips, sew new clothes, sew ears and tails.

Do not ever force a child to throw broken or obsolete toys! For him, these are symbols of his development, with each associated positive emotions and experiences. These are his childhood memories, these are his friends. It is much psychologically more environmentally friendly to repair them and give them to other children, to give a kindergarten, a child who is not lucky in this plan and parents do not buy toys for him.

No toy, taken separately, will bring the educational benefit that is reported on its packaging. This can only make all the toys together. Only together they will help the child to spend time with benefit. In addition, the meaning of toys is not only to develop in children observation, attention and other useful qualities. Toys should just be entertained, and do not stop them from doing it.

Undoubtedly, a child should have a certain set of toys that contribute to the development of his sensory perception, thinking, outlook, allowing him to play real and fabulous situations, to imitate the adults. In the book GLLandret "Game therapy: the art of communication" are recommendations for choosing toys that help to harmoniously develop intelligence, emotions, self-knowledge, self-control and communication skills. Not all of them are bought in the store, many can be made by the parents themselves, and from this they will be even closer and more dear to the child.

Toys from real life.

Puppet family (maybe a family of little animals), a doll house, furniture, dishes, cars, a boat, cash register, scales, medical and hairdressing tools, watches, washing machines, plates, televisions, crayons and a board, abacus, musical instruments, railways , phone, etc.

Toys that help to "throw out" aggression.

Toy soldiers, guns, balls, inflatable pears, pillows, wild animals, rubber toys, ropes, skipping ropes, hammers and other tools, darts for throwing, skittles, etc.

Toys for the development of creative imagination and self-expression.

Cubes, nesting dolls, pyramids, constructors, alphabets, table games, cut-down pictures or postcards, paints, plasticine, mosaic, needlework kits, threads, pieces of cloth, paper for applications, glue, etc.

Give your children joy not only in the days of birth and the new year, but just like that, from a good mood!

After all, giving a child a toy is not the same as buying a hook for catching a certain fish or car parts, each of which has its own exact purpose. We buy toys primarily because we love our children and know how happy kids are.

Remember that everything, except your favorite toys, you need to periodically change and update. If you notice that the baby does not take a toy for a long time, then it does not really need him now. Hide her away, and after a while her appearance will cause a new emotional or cognitive interest in the child.

Remember the film "Toy", where the son of a millionaire lived in a huge house, had a bunch of robots, cars, computers, but was alone until he found himself a friend, a man who understands and loves him, able to fantasize and play with him.

So play with your children!
