A few days ago, a father asked a kindergarten teacher for advice. The toys at home have cost tens of thousands of yuan. Why does his son always buy new toys? Teachers said that for children, there is no difference between expensive and inexpensive toys. Parent-child, hands-on and brain-driven toys can more effectively exercise children's "playing quotient".

Parent-child toys that use hands and brains are more "red"

The reporter observed at the International Early Childhood Education Exhibition that the more "red" this year are all kinds of parent-child toys, such as creative clay, origami, which can only be completed with the help of parents, and even the China Pavilion made of building blocks. These "original toys", which many parents had dismissed in previous years, have grown in popularity, and new ways of playing have been developed. In addition, some toys have also made a big fuss around children's natural love to play with water and sand. Water blankets that can be painted over and over again, and new materials from South Korea between flour, sand, and clay have attracted a large number of children and parents.

It is better to assemble a toy that costs tens of thousands of yuan

4-year-old Fan Fan (pseudonym) has a dollhouse of his own. The large slides, swings, six large electric cars and motorcycles cost 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. However, so many toys could not tie Fan Fan's heart. Instead, he likes toys made by kindergarten teachers.

At the "Creative Infinite Toys Show" held by the China Welfare Association Nursery, the reporter found that almost all the toys here are assembled from waste materials around them. The teachers made the paper box into a lively "sheep village", with various realistic animation images such as Pleasant Goat, American Sheep, Big Big Wolf, etc. Children can enter the sheep village to visit and play games; KT board series play cat and mouse It also makes children have a lot of fun; there are also tire series, milk powder cans series, etc. They are all waste materials that can be seen everywhere in daily life, but through the dexterous hands of the teachers, they magically transformed into new vitality and won the children's love.

"On the one hand, the toys displayed by the teachers are used for peer learning, and on the other hand, they hope to inspire parents. If parents are willing to be caring parents, there are actually many simple, convenient and low-carbon 'playing materials' around them that can be used." Yang The teacher told reporters with a smile.

There is no distinction between high and low toys, the key is that the gameplay cannot be single

Child psychology experts said that in the eyes of children, toys have no distinction between high and low, only fun and not fun. And no matter how fun a toy is, if the gameplay is single, after the novelty is over, the child will inevitably get bored and no longer like it. Curious children are always willing to pursue novelty, and for those without a creative environment, buying new toys is an expression of novelty. It's not bad to buy toys, but don't be unrestrained. If you can develop new ways to play with toys that are tired of playing, it can also attract children's attention.

Parents may wish to encourage their children to become little players in life. For example, if you put soybeans, lentils, red beans, stones, and rice in a transparent empty bottle, children will see different colors when they play, hear different sounds when they shake, and feel different when they take them. weight. This practice of encouraging children to explore the world is useful for enlightening their intelligence.

It is also a good way to encourage children to have fun with housework activities. Many young children especially like to imitate adults when they are two or three years old, such as washing clothes, drying clothes, sweeping the floor, etc., and some parents feel that this is a mess. But in fact, washing small handkerchiefs for children can not only satisfy their nature of being close to water, but also rubbing, kneading, twisting, drying and other actions are also very good for the cultivation of children's hands-on ability, and sweeping the floor is conducive to training children's hand-eye coordination ability.
