a distraction at school. They make some noise and can attract attention. They can even harm people. If I was a teacher, I would ban these toys. Fidget spinners are designed to relieve stress. They can be made from plastic or some kinds of metal. These toys have a 2 or 3-pronged shape. The center is the part you hold or put on your nose or elbow, while the toy spins. The spinner rose in popularity basically overnight, but many…

Social benefits that toys inspire are “increases in empathy, compassion, and sharing. Toys create options and choices. They model relationships based on inclusion rather than exclusion. They can improve nonverbal skills and they have been found to increase attention and attachment (Play in Children’s Development, Health, and Well-Being).” The social aspect of toys is very important. It is critical that children learn how to work with other people. Being able to get along and work well with…

In the summer of 2007, Mattel voluntarily recalled 19.6 million toys globally (Thottam, 2007). There were two major recalls between August and September that combined to make the biggest recall of the company’s history (Story & Barboza, 2007). One reason for the recall was defective magnets, a result of Mattel’s design flaw; they placed industrial strength magnets that could easily come loose and pose a threat to any child or infant (Story & Barboza, 2007). The magnets could be swallowed and…

I went on October 26th, at 2:30 in the afternoon. Right when I walked into the toy section I saw the pink glow of toys to my left and then the dull dark blue to my right. It was very obvious which isles were attended for girls and which isles were attended for boys. This was the case for all of the isles except for the infant toy aisle. The infant toy aisle was very gender neutral in the aspect that all of the toys and packages were covered in vibrant bright colors, but this is probably only the…

designed a toy for 2-3-year-old called the “Art Geo Board”. The art geo board is a kids toy to encourage them to learn more about shapes, colours, numbers, alphabet, objects, pattern, counting and symmetry. It is a wooden board with pegs you can string rubber bands around and fairly simple to make and cheap fun. I made this toy for under $12 in materials and completed in less than an hour. Everything was purchased from a dollar store and supervised by an adult. A geo board is a toy that…

played a clip of Brittney Spears hit me baby one more time and my Bratz dolls. The toys I remember I wanted were the action figures of the WWE wrestlers aka the Rock,the red boxing gloves and also an American Doll. My mother never bought me the fist two items because the were masculine and the American Doll was too expensive. The toys my mother played with were involved with cleaning like a fake mop or dishes. The toys she wanted were baby dolls but she did not get them because my grandmother…

comes to the house. He has his own toy area and knows where his toys are. He has his own chair that he brings out when he comes over. There is a large room that is full of plants that he likes to play in, but isn’t allowed to touch the plants. He does anyways. He likes to play in the dirt. I imagine that he thinks it’s like a jungle. The house is a walk through house, meaning you can go in a complete circle, around and around. He likes to ride on his toys and push his baby stroller around…

some male hormones out of girls then they will engage in a little less boy type play. Toys don’t define themselves as boy toys or girl toys they are just toys. There are studies that suggest that boys prefer to play with boy toys whereas girls don’t have a preference as to what toys they play with. Girls tend to be gender neutral when it comes to toys until they are 5 whereas some boys know the types of toys they should be playing with according societies…

have with the brand. Even when children become more inclined to request technology focused toys, parents will be loyal to the LEGO name and purchase the toy because they consider it “good for their children.” The toy itself requires children to think creatively as they build and rebuild different structures each time they choose to play with the toy, this strategic thinking is why parents will continuously be loyal to the brand.
