Toys for Preschoolers - Good Toys for Children - Playtime
|
|
The following excerpts are from the National Network for Child
Care with recommendations for toys for Preschoolers.
PRESCHOOLERS
Preschool-age children also are interested in active physical play.
They have more control of their muscles at this age and this can be
seen in the move from a tricycle to a two-wheel bike. Preschoolers
also are increasingly curious about the world around them. They enjoy
realistic toys such as farm and animal sets, grocery store prop boxes,
model cars, and trains.
As hand coordination increases, so does the child's interest in simple
construction sets and more difficult puzzles. They can manage more
difficult creative projects, and enjoy cutting and simple sewing projects,
in addition to the paint and play dough of earlier stages. Since children
at this age also are busy learning to read and write, give them play
equipment that encourages these interests.
