What is the impact of toys on children's development?
The importance of children's construction toy games mainly lies in the process of toddlers building various objects and structures, which promotes the development of thinking and the habit of practical manipulation, forming the purpose of using both hands and brain. Through the process of using various materials, children can directly understand different substances. Knowledge and experience of using various materials in structures, such as the properties, shapes, and quantities of different materials, as well as the ability to design and conceptualize, can also be exercised. For example, to build a building or reservoir, building blocks must be stacked one by one, layer by layer. Success is only achieved after many failures. This is a good way to exercise a toddler's will.
Toys are the angels of children. Why do we say that? Toys play a significant role in the process of children understanding the world around them. Toys attract children's curiosity and attention with vivid colors, beautiful and strange shapes, skillful activities, and pleasant sounds. Toys are specific real objects resembling actual items, satisfying children's desire to manipulate objects using their brains. There are various types and ways to play with toys, which stimulate children's interests. Good toys can stimulate children's desire to play. They are textbooks for children's learning and favorite life partners.
Children's toys can mobilize children's enthusiasm for activities.
Children's physical and mental development is achieved through activities. Toys can be freely manipulated, operated, and used by children. This aligns with their psychological interests and ability levels. It meets their activity needs and enhances their enthusiasm for activities. For example, the "rocking horse" toy naturally allows toddlers to ride and rock back and forth, not only meeting activity requirements but also evoking positive and enjoyable feelings, so they do not get bored playing for a long time. Another example is the "doll" toy, which allows children of all ages to engage in various activities. Children can play with dolls according to their life experiences, ranging from simple to complex.
Children's toys can enhance perceptual awareness.
Toys have intuitive image characteristics, allowing children to touch, grasp, listen, blow, and see, which helps train various senses. For example, colored towers, blow-molded toys, various dolls, and toy animals help with visual training. Octave bears, small pianos, tambourines, and small trumpets can train hearing. Building blocks, plastic pieces, and structural models can develop spatial perception; various puzzles, inlaid toys, and soft plastic toys can exercise the sense of touch; pulling toys like duck carts, trolleys, tricycles, and bicycles contribute to the development of motor skills. Toys not only develop sensory and motor abilities but also enrich children's perceptual knowledge and help imprint impressions of their lives. When children have limited exposure to real life, they learn about the world through toys.
Children's toys can evoke toddlers' associative activities.
For example, toys found in hospitals or dollhouses can evoke connections between children and hospitals or families, encouraging children to develop creative role-playing games. Some labor tool toys involve planting trees, digging rivers, or building structures. There are also toys specially used for thinking training, such as various chess games and intellectual toys. These improve children's abilities in analysis, integration, comparison, judgment, and reasoning, cultivating depth, flexibility, and agility of thought. Children actively engage in activities like thinking and imagination, expressing themselves through hand and other bodily activities.
For example, when playing with "Jesse" toys, children need to think, imagine, and select materials to achieve given goals; when assembling, they need to use their hands and brains. When using toys, children also face some difficulties. These difficulties require them to rely on their own strength to overcome challenges and persist. This cultivates qualities necessary to overcome difficulties and make progress.
It helps foster a collective concept and spirit of cooperation.
Some toys are needed for children to use together. For example, the "telephone" toy has two sides to a call, and even a pager can help children understand learning, life experience, practice, and peer cooperation. Another example is the "long rope" toy, which many children need to use collectively. In the long rope skipping game, children coordinate their actions with each other, strengthening the concept of collectiveness.
