children's Christmas loot, toys and play maAerials which can be
used over and over again.
Almost any toy or play material can be a source of creative
enjoyment for a child, it simply depends on how the individual
child uses it.The toys and play materials described in the
following list are,among the best for children of all ages, they are
also some of the cheapest gifts you can buy.
Paint:
Painting pictures is one of the first ways in which children
express themselves artistically. Three of the best types of paint
are tempra paint which gives the bright colors and quick results
that young children need while being useful to older children,
water colors are more difficult to use and should be given only to
those children who have had experience with painting, finger
paint is a medium where the child can see. feel, and sometimes
taste, the, colors he is using.
Modeling Materials:
Children must develop control of their hands, by working with
different types of modeling materials the child does this
naturally. it also shows the child that he can be a creulor. There
are many good aniterials, among the best are clay a Bich has a
natural texture and can easily be used by all ages. plasticise is
valuable because it can be used many times (t ry to buy lar ge
slabs rather than the packages of wafer thin slabs which end up
as a messy blob) play dough can either be bought or made (see
suggestion) it has many uses and certainly the cheapest of
modeling materials.
Construction Toys:
The positive value of toys which allow the child to build things
is great. Children should start playing with these toys at a fewmonths of age. Begin with simple wooden or plastic blocks then
as the child becomes niore experienced give hint more
complicated sets. Plastic construction sets have the advantage of
being unbreakable. Metal sets tend to have sharp edges which
may injure a child. Wooden sets are good but are breakable.
Puppets:
Puppets are a must for every young child. Playing make
beliet're games comes readily to a child who has puppets to wbr'k
with. The easiest and most adaptable puppets are the simple
hand or sock puppets. Older children will enjoy the challenge of
using rod and string puppets.
Play Tools:
Nothing can be quite as frustrating as trying to cut a piece of
wood with a plastic saw or fry an egg with a plastic pan. Always
buy ch'il'dren too'ls which -caactually be used for the purpose
they wetid intended. This applies to carpenters tools, . cooking
tools, sewing tools or any other type of tool which the child uses
I n his ar her play. Barents should buy the smallest sizes of actual
tools ttistead of imitation tool sets, Obviously parents must take
the tittie' to demonstrate the safe way to use the tools.
