and popular the aisle at Canadian Tire and enjoyed sellers advertised toy that will lose its appeal before the pine needles fall off tbe Christmas tree Why Because three and fouryearolds don t know that playthings have to meet certain requirements to keep them amused for long periods They dont know that toys help them learn about themselves each other and the world they live In Play is their work and toys are their tools A toy should be percent child and ten percent toy says nursery school supervisor Anne Bums It must be imaginative and challenging It must allow the chOd to discover and explore A plaything should educate and stimulate as well as entertain and it should continue to be fun Canadians spend over 200 million dollars a year on toys Parents are bombarded with childrens products in super markets drug stores depart stores boutiques toy shops magazines catalogues ana TV commercials Some toys appeal to the parents more than to the children Mechanical toys are Iota of fun for dad but after the novelty wears off there Isn much left for junior except to take it apart ana see what makes it tick Often the child has more fun with the box it came In Parents end up disappointed after spending a lot of money on something their young ones don appreciate Because I work with children and toys and because I know child parents will often ask me what I mend said Mrs Burns I advise toya that stimulate Imagination makes them think and allows them to construct Also It must fit into their immediate world Ask yourself Does it work Is It the right size and age for the child Will it last la It in season Will the novelty wear off Can accessories and ad dltlona be added later Will it break too easily Will it frustrate and bore child or will it continue to be fun Lego Is a very popular set with the nursery school children because It wont break They can build cars airplanes boats buildings and then take It all apart ana build something else Mrs Burns says Fisher Price toys never lose their appealandneverwearout For years she has been adding new toys to the supply at the school Each year they come up with new materials and new designs but the basic concept Is always the same All the games and building sets are kept In colorful plastic dlshpans on slotted shelves I always suggest to parents that shelves like this would be an Ideal gift for a child Toy boxes are useless because they just mix everything up This way everything Is kept separate and the are big enough they can play with the game right in the pan She tells parents children will usually ask for
