Why are plush toys so important to children?

Children always explore the unknown world while playing, and in the process, toys become an indispensable auxiliary tool for them and an integral part of their happy childhood. Playing is the bridge connecting children with the external world. In the process of "playing", it not only helps children discover themselves, explore problems, and satisfy their innate curiosity, but also gives them the opportunity to express their views and attitudes towards things. Because of this, toys are children's closest companions and best teachers.

Why are plush toys so important to children?

The role of toys in promoting children's growth

1. Promote the improvement of children's perception
Perception is the ability of children to understand external things and is the main way to increase knowledge. In early childhood, because of the low language expression ability, the information that young children can obtain is mainly image information obtained through sensory perception. With its vivid, exaggerated image and bright colors, the toys stimulate children to contact with various senses. During the process of contacting toys, children will be exposed to various toys of the same material, thereby enhancing sensory perception and observation ability and promoting the improvement of perception ability. During the process of contacting toys, children will come into contact with various toys by watching, listening, tasting, and touching. Toys of different materials can enhance perception and observation skills.

2. Promote children's language development
Toys are tools for children to express themselves. Compared with the traditional language symbology in society, toys are considered to be a more convenient language for children. Toys are a "wordless heavenly book", which is more like a "syllabus" or an open "textbook", giving learners a broad space for independent construction and imagination, stimulating children's desire to express themselves, and creating an appropriate language environment for children's free expression. For example, the communication of toys and play between children has made children's language improve without realizing it. When young children come into contact with toys, they will also experience a lot of "talking to themselves". For example, when children are playing with plush toys, they will treat it as a conversation object that they can control themselves and naturally talk to it: "Baby, you are so cute! I want to tell you a story. Listen carefully!" Children can freely use their own language according to their wishes and interests, and fully demonstrate their oral expression skills in pretending to behave, without worrying whether they say it right or whether they need to be corrected. In this way, while playing with various toys, young children creatively change their language with specific perceptions and actions and use vivid language, thus developing their understanding and understanding of the real world constructed with language as a medium. Therefore, it can be said that toys are the carrier of children's language development.

3. Promote the development of children's imagination
Plush toys can better simulate children's imagination. Children will use their existing life experience to create game situations, carry out imaginative games, conduct language learning, create stories, etc. These activities can greatly stimulate children's interest and enrich their imagination.

4. Promote the healthy development of children's physical and mental health
During the growth of children, the comprehensive growth of physical functions is an important period for the development of various basic functions of the brain and body. Due to the continuous expansion of children's life scope and the development of physical and mental aspects, children have begun to participate in adult social life. However, due to lack of knowledge and ability, they are unable to fully participate in adult activities. This requires children to imitate adult behaviors and actions through toys and games, reflecting their surrounding lives in imaginary situations, thereby gaining happiness and satisfaction. Facts have proved that toys can promote children's psychological development and are closely related to children's development and growth. Through games and toys, children can exercise muscles, coordinate movements and perceive abilities, and can also broaden their horizons, increase their knowledge, cultivate their temperament, develop language, and improve their understanding, creativity, imagination, thinking ability and aesthetic concepts. It is of great significance to cultivating children's good living habits and moral qualities and improving physical fitness. Therefore, toys are extremely important in promoting children's psychological development and growth. They are indispensable partners in the growth and development of children.

When children touch the delicate fur of plush toys can touch every cell and nerve in the child's hands, which not only brings pleasure to the child, but also improves the child's touch sensitivity. In addition, the shape and appearance of the toys can stimulate their vision, while the sounds made by electric toys will make them excited.

They are an effective tool to help children understand the world.

Children's physical functions, such as hand-foot coordination, hand-eye coordination, etc., need to be gradually cultivated through training. Toys are the best tool, plush toys allow children to hold, play, imitate and talk. When kids play house with stuffed toys, they need to create a situation that can inspire their imagination. In a role-playing game, plush toys play the roles assigned by children and accept the emotions that children project on them. This is very helpful for brain development. Therefore, plush toys are of great benefit to children's physical functions and brain development.

In addition, children who like plush toys are more focused, more focused, and less shy. Why do children always like soft toys?
