Playing With Toys: During these years playing ball takes precedence over games of chase and playing with toys. Imaginative play decreases during this age period. For girls there is a rapid decline in doll-play toward the end of this period. Boys would probably show a similar decline in their interest in playing 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 activity, however, occurs for all children at any age level. Changes in play interests are gradual. Differences in play activities between age groups are smaller than those among children of the same age; play interests overlap from age to age.

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.
Used for sleeping, hiding, rearing of young. Supply lining materials: grasses, dry lichens, bits of old kapok. Pull kapok apart into small pieces and drop with other toys to pull materials on cage bottom. Never use cotton.
Wild mice are playful, need toys. Plant a stiff-branching shrub in corner of cage; pets like to race through it. Tie tightly twisted and knotted cord to top of cage and allow to dangle down. Provide chipmunk-type wheel. Many other toys to pull items may be used (see cage diagram, Part IV).
On The Other Hand See Favorite Toys Are Naturally:Children playing with pets or favorite toys are naturally so charming that it is best to let them pose themselves. Simply watch what goes 70 on, and take a series of snapshots without making an important issue from a lower position than you would assume if your subject were an adult. This method is generally better than tilting the camera, lie-cause it will enable you to picture the child's features clearly. There will, however, be times when striking and unusual pictures can be made from the higher angle. (See the section on The Unusual I'iew-point in the next chapter.) When you wish to point the Camera down¬ward, it's a good idea to minimize vertical lines in objects within the picture area, because tilting the Camera will make the lines con¬verge in the picture.
Suggested exposure for pictures of toddlers (on bright days, and not in shade,
Kodak Verichrome or Plus-X Film, 1/100 second at f/7.9. f/S, or f/S.8; with Kodak Super-XX Film, 1/100 second at f/11.
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 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. |
