What toys mean to children? Toys are like children's companions. Many families have only one child, and they still love their children very much, but many parents think it is meaningless to buy too many toys for their children. This is actually a very wrong idea. Toys play an indispensable role in children's growth. Many parents spend less time with their children in order to be busy with their own careers, so toys are close partners of their children.
With the development of science and technology, the quality and use of toys are becoming more and more diversified. Now many toy manufacturers are aware of the market of educational toys, so they have increased their research and development efforts in this area.
Toys are not only children's good partners, but also good tools for children to learn. Good toys can improve children's practical ability and thinking ability, and develop children's various cognitive abilities. At the same time, we should also pay attention to maximize the function of toys, so as to avoid waste caused by unsuitable children.
In my opinion, toys play a very important role in children's growth, especially in infancy. Toys attract children through their own charm. Therefore, the role of toys is extraordinary.
What kinds of toys are there? In the game, children constantly experience success and failure, freedom and rules, process and result, and enrich their personality connotation while satisfying the fun of the game. However, there are many kinds and functions of toys. Different types of toys have different effects on children. For a child who doesn't go to school, toys are their teaching materials. Children learn about the world through toys.
Therefore, in order to let children grow up healthily in the game, parents should choose toys reasonably. The best toys are often the simplest, most common and cheapest, such as puzzles, building blocks, balls, dolls, long-haired bears, white paper and crayons.
(1) educational toys, such as towers, stacked cups, clocks, puzzles, etc. It is instructive to know the baby's spatial orientation, order, whole part, shape and time concept.
(2) Language toys, such as early education machines, picture books, children's songs, etc. all belong to this kind of toys, which can promote the baby's hearing, language expression, understanding and cognition.
(3) Action toys, which are familiar to parents born in 1980s, include small trailers, toolboxes, trolleys, bicycles, etc. It is also popular with many children. Action toys can exercise the baby's muscles and promote the coordination of all parts of the body.
(4) Many Montessori teaching AIDS contain operational toys such as beads, clay and building blocks, which can promote the coordination of children's eyes and hands and make their fingers more flexible.
(5) Social imitation toys Many children like dolls, supermarkets, kitchens, and engineers' house toys. Imitation can help children understand family life and social rules and consolidate and expand their knowledge.
(6) science toys can guide children to observe, compare, collect and analyze, so that children can develop the habit of doing things themselves and seeking truth from facts.
In fact, toys for children are not limited to those expensive and exquisite goods in shopping malls. A stone, a leaf, even a basin of water, a simple cup and sand are all good toys as long as they can arouse children's interest and infinite fantasy.
The role of toys in children's growth 1, children's toys can arouse the enthusiasm of children's activities. Children's physical and mental development is realized in activities. Toys can be freely played, manipulated and used by children, which is in line with children's psychological hobbies and ability level. It can meet their activity needs and improve their enthusiasm. For example, children will naturally ride the "rocking horse" toy and swing back and forth, which not only meets the requirements of their activities, but also makes them feel positive and happy, and they will not get tired of playing for a long time. Another example is the "doll" toy, which can make children do all kinds of activities. Children of all ages can play games with dolls according to their own life experiences, and the games can range from simple to complex and varied.
2. Children's toys can enhance perceptual knowledge.
Toys have the characteristics of intuitive images, and children can touch, hold, listen, blow and see, which is beneficial to the training of various senses. Such as multicolored towers, blow-molded toys, various dolls, toy animals, etc., which are beneficial to visual training; Eight-tone bear, grand piano, tambourine, small harpoon, etc. Can train listening; Building blocks, plastic sheets and structural models can develop spatial perception; All kinds of puzzles, mosaic toys, soft plastic toys, etc. Can exercise the sense of touch; Duck-pulling carts, trolleys, tricycles and two-wheeled carts also contribute to the development of a sense of movement. Toys can not only enrich children's perceptual knowledge, but also help to consolidate their impressions in life. When children are not widely exposed to real life, they know the world through toys.
3. Children's toys can arouse children's association activities. Such as hospital toys, doll toys can arouse children's association with hospitals and families and encourage children to play creative role games; Some toys of labor tools can make children do simulated labor such as planting trees, digging rivers and building. Some toys are specially used for thinking training, such as various chess and intellectual toys, which can improve children's ability of analysis, synthesis, comparison, judgment and reasoning, and cultivate their thinking depth, flexibility and agility.
4, actively thinking, imagination and other activities, and through other activities of the hand or body. If you play with "plastic toys", children should conceive, imagine and choose materials to achieve the established purpose; When assembling by hand, use both hands and brains. Children will encounter some difficulties when using toys. These difficulties need them to overcome by their own efforts and persist in completing their tasks, so as to cultivate excellent qualities of overcoming difficulties and striving for progress.
5, help to cultivate the collective concept and the spirit of cooperation. Some toys need children to use together. Such as "telephone" toys, there should be two parties on the phone, and even pagers can help children understand their study and life experiences and practice cooperation with their peers. Another example is the "long rope" toy, which itself needs many children to use collectively. In the long rope jumping game, children coordinate their actions and enhance their collective concept.
