The importance of Toys & games in learning and development
There seems to be a common perception that games are only a means of leisure & entertainment for children and often, overlooking the cognitive impact on one's development. Nothing could be further from the truth: right from birth to adulthood, the process of learning never stops.
While one understands the role of games and outdoor activities for a child's physical growth, we often ignore its benefits linked with learning. Games are not only a great way to help one de-stress, but also a handy and fun tool to help one grow smarter and sharper, while improving their cognitive, physical and social skills. Child psychologists have propagated that Toys and Games come with intrinsic value that adds to the overall development of children.
Interestingly, 75% of the Nobel Prize winners in Science state that, they got their passion for Science from beyond the school boundaries - while exploring and playing. While classroom learning is vital and necessary, practical learning through play can have a more beneficial impact. Concepts like time, speed and distance can be explained through indoor car games that can help engage the child while helping them grasp theory faster. Teaching a child complex scientific concepts or improving their vocabulary can be a task, but games make it effortless, enjoyable and easy.
