Show Demonstration Agent Gives Advice For Buying Kids' Gifts 3t jenniev poulson Children lay an important part at Christmas time. Everyone is so anxious to make them happy. Many toys are bought without much planning or thought given to them. But, to really make this the most wonderful Christmas Jackie or Mary ever had, their toys 'should b carefully planned and bought to fit them. This Is. just as important as buying a pair of shoes to fit them correctly. Toys shouldn't be too advanced for the child. A few toys well chosen are best. ' . Toy - shouldn't be just play things parents use to keep chilli chil-li dren quiet. They are tools. It is through toys that youngsters learn to do and build. Play is the child's means of learning, and , through, it he -develops physically, mentally, emotionally and socially. social-ly. For this reason we want to be especially careful and consider he child's age, his strength, and the things he likes, before we select toys for him. Develop Skill " Children like toys not so much that do things but toys they can do things with. They like toys that put their hands, their bodies, their Imaginations and their minds to work. As they grow older old-er they "want playthings that call tor or help develop skilL " ' From observations made of play activities in a nursery school , it has been found that raw materials ma-terials 4 or toys are popular with all age groups. By raw materials we mean those toys that children can make things with, such as blocks, colored cubes, blackboards black-boards and chalk, spools, different kinds of crayons and paints, and Slay. ; Locomotor toys are always popular such toys as the kiddy car, tricycle, wagon, dump truck, doll buggy, ball and bicycle. These are toys that bring about movement in the child and movement move-ment of the toy. - L Locomotor "toysVare popular ' through one's entire life. Adults certainly enjoy their automobiles. Locomotor toys helpvthe child develop de-velop muscles and coordination., j T -"Age Is Factor -. t Locomotor toys " should be bought lor a child with regard to his age. A child from one to two likes a ball to throw. A kiddy car is good for a child two to three years of age. For the child three to four they are getting a little farce for the kiddy car and some of them can use a tricycle Dump trucks or wagons are also good tor this age group. Tricycles are good for several years, and should be a suitable size for the child. Roller skates are popular for both rirls and boys 'six to eight years fid. After eight years, bicycles are popular. t. Surprising as it seems, mechanical mechan-ical toys rank lowest in popularity popular-ity .for all age groups. Mechanical oy demand the least of the child either in amount or kind of activity. ac-tivity. They can be pushed along the floor, or wound up and Vatched as they run down, but (his about exhausts the range of possiblity. , . nthr sometime complain hat their children will 'desert an I - expensive mecnamcai wf with bricks and stones in the Alley. This is only normal conduct. con-duct. A desirable toy should stimulate stim-ulate the child to do things. A toy that is good for nothing more than decoration or one the child ust watches is not a gooa cuuite. " I ' Lasting Interest ' Tnvm nhmild be usable In dif ferent ways!

Examples are hard rubber animals ani-mals or rings to bite, oil cloth animals, colored wooden beads, rattles to shake, colored balls of rubber, dolls that rock, and dolls of cloth. ' . , To the child beginning to learn to crawl and walk give things to mish and pull. Children over a year and a half, but under three, always seem to be getting into things. They are curious, they have much to learn. They want to null everything apart and examine exam-ine it carefully. Here is where building toys come in: peg boards, blocks that fit together, a nest of blocks, rubber blocks to pile up and knock over. Push and Pull ? Between the ages of two and three, the child still needs many thing's to push and pull, to carry about and use for building, such as large square blocks, wagons, trains, pail and shovel, and a wheel barrow. Dramatic and imitative play begins with animals, miniature minia-ture cars, dolls and telephones. , Children over four years need many things to help their play of Imitating grown-ups.
