Toys allow children to stay engaged in physical activities by developing their motor skills.

Toys also contribute to the balance discovery and coordination, and when children are physically active, it allows them to adopt a healthy lifestyle early on.

Toys stimulate children’s creativity and imagination and help them to externalize and express their emotions (internal and external). Emotional development is provided through various ways such as the invention of abstract worlds in their minds, the interpretation of roles or characters, or imagining different family situations.

All toys help in decision-making processes as they stimulate children’s imagination as they create their own universes.

– Social development

In addition to improving children’s language skills, toys provide the ability to develop sociability and society understanding. Initially through toys, children interact with adults. Playing games with other children help to create diverse values such as respect, cooperation and sharing, as well as developing individual initiative, learning to negotiate and establishing a better organizational sense.

Toys promote the development of cognition in children, stimulating the ability to concentrate and memory (board games and puzzles), which allows them to acquire creative problem solving tools, fundamental for children autonomy.
