Age Appropriate Toys


Children love playing. It’s very important for their growth. These toys can be hand made or purchased but its essential for children to have age appropriate toys. The toys can be divided into different groups depending on the parts of child development millstones. For examples,  
1-    Toys for physical and mussels development e.g. boxes, puzzles, blocks and brooms etc.
2-    Sensory development (touch, smell, taste, and sight) e.g. water toys, musical tools, bubbles, and sand toys etc.
3-    Social development  e.g. dolls, dress up cloths, cars, trucks, busses, games, and books   
4-    Intellectual development e.g. clay, crayons, paints, books, papers and scissors etc.
When we allow children to play, we as parents need to keep in mind the developmental millstones and age appropriateness. It will make more sense for children and they will enjoy playing and developing.
