Importance of toys

 Research shows that early and diversified play encourages language, reading and writing skills. A child growing up in an environment that encourages play will be better adjusted socially and more cooperative than one that is not.

Playing is crucial for children's physical, psychological, and social development, as well as their health and well-being. Regardless of the country or culture, children learn about themselves, the world around them, and their place in it through play. Toys are an essential part of children's growth, as they greatly enrich play and help children develop. Toys stimulate imagination and lay the foundation for cognitive and motor skills. They also help teach the importance of sharing, cooperation, and communication.
Toys continue to evolve, reflecting our culture and way of life. Manufacturers draw inspiration from the ever-changing world to create toys that help children use their imagination to understand their environment and establish connections with it. These toys can inspire children's curiosity and creativity and help them develop their thinking and logical abilities.
However, although playing is a right for children, recognized in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child as a fundamental need like food and shelter, this is not always reflected in society. The design of urban areas is not intended to stimulate free outdoor activities. Educational curricula often place too much emphasis on textbook education rather than free and more creative learning methods, especially for young children. Today, busy parents schedule hobbies for their children, leading to a decrease in the time children have to play spontaneously and exercise their creativity.
