According to the needs of children’s growth and development, the selection of early education toys should have the following six characteristics:
1. The color of early education toys should be bright. Young children’s perception is not as complete and mature as adults, so often the brightest and most prominent colors catch their attention first. For example, a red flower in a green bush tends to attract them more than a white flower in a gray. Therefore, early childhood toys should be bright and prominent in color to attract their attention from the beginning.
2. Early education toys should be realistic. The purpose of giving children toys is to let them indirectly understand nature, understand society and develop their thinking ability. If the image of the toy is too far from the real objective things, it will teach children a wrong knowledge and concept.
3. Early education toys must have analog audio. Many developed countries attach great importance to the analog sound of children’s toys. Manufacturers often use advanced technology to install sound that matches the shape of the toy, resulting in good results.
4. Early education toys should be safe and reliable. Some toys are very dangerous when they leave the factory. Either the edges and corners are like blades, or the sharp points are like cones. If you are not careful, the child will be injured. There are many reasons for this, but the most important one is not enough awareness of children’s toys. Therefore, mothers must put safety first when buying early childhood toys for their children.
5. Early education toys should be resistant to beating and smashing. Whether it is a parent or a manufacturer, they should proceed from the characteristics of children, carefully choose and manufacture toys with the level of the times, so that they have the characteristics of resistance to beating and smashing.
