Simple Toys for Kids
Syndicated post from Kids Are From Pluto
Today’s advanced technology with it’s motion sensors, sensory pads, audio and visual capabilities can often lead to the misperception that modern is better, especially with the case of toys and games for kids. Yes, I admit, with the invention of the iPad, the task to keep your child entertained is on cruise control.
Pros: You can be rest-assured that your child will be entertained, sitting, and behaving.
Cons:You lose that sense engagement with your child.
Sometimes simpler is better and less is more. Let’s try putting down the iPad and other advanced technological toys that came out of a box and let’s be creative with the most simplest and fun toys/games that can be just as effective and possibly even more memorable.
Never run out of fun things to do with these clever ideas! Engaging, interactive, and fun, these simple games/toys will provide your child with hours and hours of amusement.
- Hang a bedsheet across the room and turn off the lights. Use a flashlight and throw a puppet show!
- Get your kids outside with a bucket and they will find things to do with it. Pour water in and out of it. Collect things like rocks, seeds, bugs, frogs, and leaves.
- Collect pillows, stack them up, jump on them, hit each other with them, and when you get tired, take a quick nap.

I plan on having a farm when I have kids, so they'll be outside all the time with me! & I think it's a good idea to teach kids chores early, even if they're nothing serious & if the kid isn't actually helping (like letting them sweep or wash the tables, even if you'll have to do it again later), because kids are always so positive about helping out that I like the idea of feeding into that & forming a positive habit from it.
It's fortunate you have enough money for a farm. Kids can and do learn chores from any household setting, especially when they have to work together. And not to cause any rain to fall, but children are human, and they aren't always positive about helping out. My two male cousins grew up on a horse ranch, got up early every day to do outside chores, and eventually became very successful. But to this day, they both hate horses, farms, and ranches. And kids with asthma struggle with outdoor chores, as my grand daughter does. My son thrived on doing the outside stuff, while my daughter did not. It's very individual, just like aptitudes are.
brilliant . my daughter is not even two and everyone wants to buy her some fancy i-gagets and computerized toys ... and really , her fave things to play with are wooden spoons , a whisk and a giant cardboard box that i made into a castle ...
Best toy of all- the big box that appliances come in. Refrigerator boxes are the best!
