Play time for children, is like rest and recreation for adults. Children would often rather play, than eat or sleep. Children often learn most of their social skills when they play with their own toys or with other children. That is why educational toys are so important to give to children at a young age, so they can develop certain skills faster for the future.
During playtime, children become very active, very creative, are imaginative, curious and expressive. During this time, they start to notice certain things and begin organizing, collecting, and categorizing certain groups of toys that belong together. If the child is given an educational toy, they often play it as a game, and like any other toy, they try to conquer and understand it. If given an educational toy as one of their first toys to play with, the easier it is for technology to be integrated into their playtime. Thus, producing faster cognitive and problem solving skills than children who are not introduced to learning toys.
With so many educational toys on the market, the availability to children is endless. Giving a child their first learning toy will set them on the right path to learning with technology.
