Play time is a most intuitive mode of interactio­n with the world where important lessons can be learned while conditioni­ng a child’s ability to create and imagine – skills that may be hard to quantify, but which prove very useful later in life.

-

Toys are the conduits to this play experience. As such, the importance of picking the right toys can hardly be overstated. The fun factor is a given, but the ‘right’ toy is also picked in the context of the skills and values desired, and also the toy itself has to be safe: is it potentiall­y a physical hazard, for instance, is it likely to break into sharp pieces, or fragments that could pose a choking hazard, was it manufactur­ed with non-toxic materials throughout? One can’t be too careful when shopping for children.
