I believe people are “wired” to learn. They want to learn. We need to create environments that let them learn. We need to avoid crushing the desire to learn…

Wow, that’s a really cool toy. I think it would be more suitable for children over 12, but it uses fire. Besides that, I think it’s cool and I am going to test it out. Man, a video would have been cool.

Wow, that’s a super cool toy. I’m still a little confused how it works… I love the simple ideas they have on that site. It really shows how you can find fun and entertainment in anything, and if it teaches you something, well then all the more better! Anyway, it’s better than playing video games all day!

This is pretty cool and bet a lot of kids would get a kick out of it too. Who knows maybe you could start their mind going and have the next James Watts or Nikola Tesla on your hands.

My 10-year old boy loves to “experiment” and make his own toys. Every summer break from school, he always have a “project”. Last summer break, he made a toy he called “marble slide”…LOL. he made it out of old illustration boards of his dad, cut into shapes, glued together and viola! The toy he made is not really that good looking, but I am amazed by his ingenuity. Sometimes, we must not limit our kids to explore or try things out. Allowing our kids to make their own toys can improve their brain development. Also, my kid made a raw egg parachute. He tied the egg on a plastic wrap and dropped it from our rooftop…he said he wants to find out if the egg will break or not once it gets on the ground…LOL. Things like this can allow kids to learn while playing.

That is way cool! I’m sitting here, a few days after Xmas, surrounded by discarded toys – some of which have yet to be removed from their box, most of which teach my two boys nothing other than how to machine gun zombies (on a good day). I will certainly be trying to get them interested in this.

Playtime is one of the most fundamental parts of childhood development. Children play in a variety of ways with a number of different toys. Each activity has a different affect on development. Toys and other objects are important extensions of a young child.
