Like all children, my son often prefers the "toys" that are not available in any toy store. Today the toy that he played with for over fifteen minutes during dinner was the take-out menu from our favorite Chinese restaurant. He came up with about twenty different things to do with it--slap it against the table, fold it, scrunch it up, slap his hand against it, wave it in the air, drop it on the floor, watch Mommy and Daddy pick it up, observe the English and Chinese written on it, and so on. His face is a study in concentration when he plays with these simple objects. He seems determined to unravel some untold mystery at the heart of each new thing he plays with.
Learning is not just about pleasure for him, then. Learning is also about intense desire.
Wow! it's a very good idea of make kids play withkid learning toys.It brings the creativity in a kid's thinking.
