Welcome to Kids Shop & Play! Let us introduce ourselves. We are a team of parents ourselves and our company is focused on providing parents and children with an extensive collection of toys and products to help our children grow and learn. We Provide toys that can be played with in a multitude of ways help your child's brain expand and get them thinking in narratives. This, in turn, helps them to see the world more broadly. Creativity is so important to nurture and helps kids learn to think outside of the box.
Kids are drawn to toys like moths are to a flame. This leads us to ask the question “What is the importance of toys in child development?” Kids already seem to innately know what they need, and they tend to gravitate in that direction. Toys are simply objects that children use to entertain themselves while simultaneously exploring the world around them, educating themselves, role-playing, and learning to express their emotions. Toys are oftentimes used as symbols for other things and therein lies their great potential for helping children grasp bigger concepts. Let us go on and talk about the types of toys that we offer here at Kids Shop & Play.
The first kind of toys that we offer are Open Ended Toys. When items as simple as blocks, dolls, animal toys, balls, mini-cars, or pretend food are handed to a child, they will take these as invitations to start creating stories and living out scenarios in their mind. A child’s play is truly their first classroom. We provide these as an introduction to toys. We have learned that the simplest of toys create some of the largest learning experiences for a child. Our goal is to boost your child’s imagination.
Kids have brains like sponges. They are always inputting information from their surroundings. When your child builds a tower with blocks and eventually watches it fall to the ground, that is a lesson in physics. Watching a remote-control car bounce around just from the radio waves of the controller gets kids curious about how it all works. A puzzle stimulates your child’s brain and helps them explore patterns. We offer a wide array of these toys for our older children to enjoy.
Never underestimate the power of education when it comes to toys. Kids learn more through creative play because it is engaging to their senses. This gives them a cognitive edge and makes them excited to continue to explore more about the world around them. That is why at Kids Shop & Play we offer an expansive variety of these toys.
When a child engages with different toys and learn to manipulate them, they are practicing their motor skills and becoming more adept at hand/eye coordination. This helps your child advance through the stages of physical development. We offer toys that require them to push, pull, grab, pinch, turn, or otherwise use their hands and body to make them do something, these are instrumental in a child’s growth. Our kids love toys such as dolls, cars, and blocks that fit into their hands, they also tend to be favorites because they are easy to hold and carry. Using their hands to position their toys or stuff them into their pockets give kids ultimate control. The Smaller details found on our toys, such as buttons or zippers or beads give children practice with fine motor details. Our larger toys that kids manipulate with their whole body are equally useful in helping a child develop physically.
At Kids Shop & Play our toys provide a connection, positive memories, and a way to interact with your child’s feelings. Have you ever noticed how attached children become to their playthings? This is a phenomenon that generally promotes healthy and positive bonding. Kids associate their toys with love, attention, and happiness. So, when they bestow affection on their toys, they are cultivating and fostering sweet childhood memories.
The importance of toys in child development is something that we as parents need to consider both in terms of what type of toys we provide, as well as how many to give them with. Remember that kids don’t necessarily need more, they need better. We don’t want you to buy more we want you to buy the best! We look forward to sharing all our wonderful toys with you and your kids. Thank You from all of us here at Kids Shop & Play!
