Whereas large-sized toys can be put safely out of the way on shelves or stood in a corner when playtime is over, there is always a need to confine small toys and games somewhere safe, especially if there are component pieces that could easily become lost if left lying about on the floor. For a lightweight toy box, use 'Am (1 2mm) plywood. However, if a large, robust box is needed, then it is best to use Kin (1 8mm) blockboard instead.See Also Play With Toys Under:Sometimes such toys along with potentially worthwhile and valuable experiences are con¬signed to, and remain in, the toy box, or alternatively children are given many items to explore simultaneously! In such circumstances the 'toys' frequently become mixed up, constituent parts separated, making 'educational' play with toys under described by Sylva et al. (1986) difficult because of the chaos of the nursery toy box which may appear to be a kaleidoscope of colours and small pieces bearing little or no resem¬blance or relationship to each other.
During these years play with toys undering ball takes precedence over games of chase and play with toys undering with toys. Imaginative play with toys under decreases during this age period. For girls there is a rapid decline in doll-play with toys under toward the end of this period. Boys would probably show a similar decline in their interest in play with toys undering space cadets, pilots, G-men, and cowboys. At thirteen or fourteen there is a marked falling off of interest in childhood games. No abrupt cessation of any specific play with toys under activity, however, occurs for all children at any age level. Changes in play with toys under interests are gradual. Differences in play with toys under activities between age groups are smaller than those among children of the same age; play with toys under interests overlap from age to age.
On The Other Hand See Boxes To Toys:However, almost any backyard can be furnished with a few boxes to toys of assorted sizes—apple boxes to toys to crawl into and around, smaller boxes to toys to build with. Sat factor)' "wagons" can be made out of cans free from sharp ragged edges: punch a hole in one end and put a strong piece of string through it. An old bell or a can full of pebbles will furnish the noise so satisfying to two-year-olds. Some place can usually be found in which to hang a low, strong swing. Trains, fire engine?., autos, kiddie cars, and other toys to pull or push or move about in are popular at this age. Wagons, doll carriages, and wheelbarrows are particularly helpful to chil¬dren who are just beginning to walk, because they give a little extra sup¬port. A plank raised from the ground at one or both ends trains the sense
Roof Garden.—In some locations a city dweller can cultivate a Roof garden, if only on window ledges. The boxes to toys should be eight inches deep and made to fit the width of the sill. The box should not be the full length of the window sill. It should be portable; a box the full size of the window ledge would be very heavy when full of soil. Wooden boxes to toys should be creosoted inside to prevent rot. Metal boxes to toys are likely to rust quickly; all boxes to toys need to be raised an inch from the sill by small blocks of wood. Trellis may be fixed in such boxes to toys so that the outside of the windows can be covered with climbing vines. |
