Game and playing is very important thing
in the development of children.
Children start playing from the first months of their life. First they
play with rattle toys. They touch them and listen to the sound. It helps
to learn about shape, colour, results of actions.
When children become older, they play with more difficult things. It
is important to have toys at early age but not necessarily expensive
ones. When children start walking, they are ready to play with anything
that gets in their hands. Different household objects become more attractive
than the most beautiful and expensive toys. Children begin to copy actions
of adults with household objects.
Playing with toys and other objects helps children to learn about qualities
of things.
At the age of 3 children begin to feel need to play with their peers.
Joint games help them to learn about relations with people. As children
grow, their game becomes more difficult, more actions are added.
Role game is born. Children role play different life situations that
they see in their life or tales and cartoons plots. It provides for their
social experience and makes them have first thoughts about future job.
Also, role games help to develop speech, imagination, memory.
It is good if parents buy different developing games, like construction ones with many details. It helps a child to develop hands’ actions and creativity.
