1. The current situation of children's choice of family toys

Parents' choice of family toys is mainly manifested in the following aspects:

1. 1 parents' spending on toys

Some parents who participated in the interview reported that they spend an average of 200 yuan on toys every year. 300 yuan. This shows that with the improvement of living standards, parents are willing to spend a lot of money on toys for their children.

1.2 number of household toys to choose from.

According to some parents, they buy toys for their children every month, with an average of four purchases? Buy toys, especially on Children's Day or China New Year. Some parents often buy small toys; For big toys, parents will carefully consider whether to buy them.

1.3 Selection of household toys

Educational toys have become a hot spot for parents to buy. They think that educational toys can develop children's intelligence. Structural toys are also favored by parents, because they can make children operate and enhance their flexibility. Such as building blocks, these toys can develop children's fine movements. Parents buy more musical toys, because children like to listen to all kinds of nice sounds. Sports toys are mainly used outdoors, and some parents only have time on weekends, so there are not many sports toys to choose from.

1.4 Function of parents to choose toys

Most parents think that family toys should pay attention to the development of children's intelligence and emotional cultivation, but some parents think that toys are mainly for children to play with and provide children with happiness, which has little effect. As long as children like to play with toys.

2. Problems in the selection of children's family toys

Generally speaking, there is not much room for toys at home, so it is impossible to arrange too many children's toys at home, so it is very important for children to choose good toys. A good toy should help to stimulate children's various ways of playing, that is, rich play experience and help children grow up healthily. However, there are some problems when parents choose children's toys:

2. 1 Do not pay attention to the safety of toys.

Safety principle is the first principle to be observed when choosing family toys. Qualified toys contribute to the healthy development of children. Toys should be non-toxic and should not have sharp edges. The combination of its various parts should be very firm, so as to avoid loosening and causing children to eat by mistake. In addition, we should also pay attention to whether toys contain harmful chemicals and should not use flammable materials. Babies or toddlers should avoid toys with long lines and small parts. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to whether toys will cause harm to children during use.

However, some parents often covet cheap toys when choosing them, and buy unsanitary toys without safety signs, which leads to the lack of safety protection for children when playing with toys. For example, some plush toys are made of a lot of rubbish cotton, which is not good for children.

2.2 Ignore children's interests

Interest is the best teacher for children's activities. The function of toys should be based on children's interest and curiosity. Therefore, when choosing toys, children's own interests and wishes should also be taken into account. Children are interested in toys, first of all, the toys themselves are interesting. Some parents think that toys with exaggerated shapes and strange colors can arouse children's interest. Some parents have always been for their children? Design? If you have a good hobby or development direction, there is a tendency to ignore your own interests and wishes when choosing toys. As a result, there may be such a situation: the toys that parents have worked hard to choose are abandoned by their children after returning home, making the toys unable to play their due role.

2.3 The selected toys do not meet the age characteristics of children.

Children's toys should conform to their age characteristics. Children in small classes should choose toys with simple structure, rich colors and vivid and interesting images; Middle-class children should choose toys with slightly complicated structure and strong flexibility; Children in large classes should choose toys with complex structures that can arouse their exploration. And some parents choose toys that are lower or higher than their children's actual development level. For example, for children in small classes, we should strengthen the practice of small hand muscles, so the toys we choose should be simple and small, while some parents provide large and complicated ones.

2.4 Blind conformity psychology

Some parents don't have a correct view of toy consumption. They always think that what everyone buys is good. They don't have their own opinions when choosing toys, and they like to follow suit. For example, roller skates are popular recently, and some parents watch other families buy roller skates and buy a pair for their children. However, some children are not flexible enough to master skating skills, which leads to their aversion to skating and sports, which is not worth the candle. Therefore, parents should establish a correct concept of consumption and choose toys according to their children's hobbies.

3. The guiding strategy of children's family toys selection

Choosing the right family toys plays a great role in the development of children's language, memory and imagination. So when choosing, we should do the following:

3. 1 Choose safe and hygienic toys.

The safety of toys includes the safety of materials, shapes and colors. The material should be soft, the toy should have no sharp edges and corners, the color of the toy should be bright and uniform, and the pigment should be non-toxic.

Choose toys that are easy to clean and disinfect. Because toys are easy to carry viruses and bacteria for a long time, leading to cross-infection of diseases, it is necessary to clean and disinfect them frequently, which is helpful to keep toys clean and hygienic.

Choose non-toxic toys. All kinds of plastic toys sold in the market are made of PVC plastic. After aging, PVC can decompose hydrogen chloride gas harmful to human body. There are also some wooden or iron toys with paint on the surface, which contains toxic substances such as lead, arsenic and benzene. If children often chew or eat toys in their mouths without washing their hands, toxic substances will slowly be absorbed into the body through the mouth, causing chronic poisoning and various diseases.

3.2 Choose active, low-structure toys that can stimulate children's senses.

Children of different ages like movable, operable and practical toys in the process of choosing toys. Especially, toys with low structure are favored by children. There is no limit to the use of low-structure toys, and children can explore and develop various possible ways of playing by themselves. Such as plastic glue, building models, building blocks, wooden boards, plastic sludge, etc., can be assembled, disassembled and combined into various shapes for children to create and build at will.

Good toys can provide appropriate sensory stimulation. Special sounds, different senses of touch, bright colors and some lovely shapes can be used to stimulate children's vision, hearing, smell and touch. Children can also learn the basic concepts of objects through toys: size, weight, color, balance and so on.

3.3 Choose toys that meet children's age characteristics and preferences.

Toys vary according to children's age and ability. Children like to play with toys that they can operate. It is too difficult to make children feel frustrated, and it is too simple to make children feel bored. Therefore, parents should buy toys according to the age logo used on the toys.

3.4 Choose homemade toys and folk toys.

Self-made toys have the characteristics of novelty, timeliness, extensive materials and low cost. Children's homemade toys mainly come from things they come into contact with in life, such as plants in nature, waste paper boxes and their previously damaged toy parts. In the process of making toys, children's thinking flexibility is exercised and their creativity is cultivated, which is conducive to the development of children's body movements and the coordinated development of hands, eyes, mouth and brain.

Folk toys are the precipitation of human culture on natural or social goods. Such as mud whistle, stilts, gyro, dragon lantern, green bristlegrass, etc. Their simple structure contains infinite wisdom, embodies the great crystallization of the working people all over China, and is a good opportunity for children to be influenced by culture. Folk toys are relatively simple, and it is more convenient for children to make them.

Toys in children's development? Spiritual food? It is a close companion in children's life, a textbook for children and a material basis for children's games. The choice and use of family toys have a great influence on children. Therefore, we should establish a correct concept of toys and choose toys with children as the starting point.
