Are Traditional Toys Obsolete?

This article mainly introduces whether traditional wooden toys are still necessary in today’s society.

 

With the further development of electronic products, more and more children are addicted to mobile phones and IPADs. However, parents also found that these so-called smart products did not teach children to think and communicate, but only gradually solidified their thinking and weakened their eyesight. In other words, traditional wooden toys and plastic toys still need to exist in this society. This article takes wooden toys as an example. We will explain why physical toys still bring many benefits to children.

 

Although children’s needs for toys are becoming more and more diversified, traditional toys still occupy an important position. Those wooden doll houses, wooden kitchen toys and wooden train track toys are still the most important types of toys children pay attention to. Although many novel toys have emerged, wise parents still believe that traditional wooden toys can help children learn to think and communicate. Therefore, they work hard to ensure that their children have the right type of toys to be able to engage in productive games to support their psychological and physical development needs.

 

Playing with toys is the most important daily activity for preschool children, and most of the attempts are gradually mastered during the process of playing with toys. This kind of activity is not only to let them pass the time, but also to help them move towards their creativity. We can confirm that toys are an indispensable part of the early foundation stage and support many basic social development skills such as communication and turning, compromise, sharing, collaboration, and language and digital development.

 

 

Specific Advantages of Traditional Toys

Traditional toys provide an effective platform for stimulating children’s cognitive ability. Many educational toys involve constructive skills, such as building blocks or jigsaw puzzles to enhance their understanding of numbers and space.

 

Traditional toys also strengthen the development of children’s creativity to some extent. Children can use many wooden role-playing toys to create their own imaginary scenes.

 

Traditional toys are a very good interactive social tool. A recent study investigated whether the type of toys used has any effect on the communication between parents and babies. The results show that electronic toys lead to a decrease in verbal communication between children and care providers. On the contrary, many traditional style toys support interactive games and social skills, such as communication and turning. When playing together, children learn to compromise, share and collaborate, and develop their language and communication skills.

 

In addition, traditional toys can simulate scenes and occupations in real life, and can make children immersive. This kind of toy requires children to treat themselves as a profession of another identity and try to imagine how this person might react in different situations. Playing with traditional toys can help children understand the surrounding environment and the world around them in a safe space, which also provides an opportunity to eliminate the frustration they may encounter and reduce stress.
