Have you ever puzzled over what the most interesting toy ever for children is? there were a lot things that have been played with thru time. In fact I wonder if we jumped back 200, or perhaps even a thousand years if we'd see kids with as much or the range of toys we have today.
You see at my place there are 4 youngsters, varying in ages up to 6 years of age. We buy few toys, but have buddies and relatives that dote on kids and we have ended up with a room dedicated entirely to toys. A toy room is not too uncommon but this room is fully packed! I bet this is something that has become much more common lately and was more unknown in olden times.
When I look at the toy room I have for my children we have a lot of toys that all do a variety of different things. Selecting the favorite toy would be hard but regularly over time my children (2 boys and 2 girls) will almost always play with toys that allow them to build something. We have wood blocks, enormous legos (the baby version that you apparently can’t swallow), and little ones (the standard kind). These are all things the children play with pretty much everyday. In fact if they get grounded from any of these they're all in an entire world of discomfort!
Why do you really think they like these building toys particularly? Well I think they're loved because they permit you or whoever is playing with them to form whatever they are imagining in their head, or to make something new! Lego toys are ideal for this sort of stuff.
My kids particularly love the Lego Star Wars toys because they have cool figures to play with. They know very little about the pictures, or shows but the varied figures and androids are definitely their favourite things to play with even more than legos themselves.
The last reason the kids like to play with Lego’s is because they can sort them and play with only 1 sort of block. Maybe my children are bizarre (O.K they are weird, but in this situation perhaps they're unique) but especially from the ages of 2 to 3 they can spend ages sorting out the Lego’s into colors, configurations and dimensions and do interesting things with them besides the ordinary way of playing with them! My favourite is when they get all of the one block size pieces and pretend they are treasure!
If you're wondering what toys to get your children then truly consider getting them some form of toy they can build with. Girls and boys both will definitely love them!
