Abstract

Adults usually consider toys as fun, or didactic tools without focusing on evaluating their contribution and impact on the play and psychic development of a child. In most cases toys are chosen and bought spontaneously, according to external, superficial attributes (such as attractiveness, price, desire to please child, etc.). This does nothing good to promote the quality of play and the child’s development.
