In recent years we find that things are becoming less ‘real’ in terms of their physical presence. Software is replacing hardware, so that instead of using a machine or a toy in the real world we are using a computer to emulate the functions of that machine or toy. As Waheed Ahmed, Managing Director of Hibba.co.uk says: “I would look for toys online for my daughter, Hibba, and find mainly video games and electronic toys. Before starting my business selling pedal cars, ride on toys and child furniture I never considered wooden toys, and I didn’t consider the damage virtual toys are doing to the imagination of our kids”.
Children are living in an era of blazing fast technological development. Computer circuits are doubling in power every 24 months (Source: Moore’s Law – en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore’s_law) . This rapid development of technology invariably impacts on us as humans, enhancing our minds’ capacity to evolve faster than decades ago.
Human’s brains were originally wired to react to environments where there was physical danger was often around the corner and food was scare. Our environment is now quite different of course.
Kids have an advantage over past generations, and that advantage is that by growing in this fast changing environment, it is easier for them to learn new abilities and improve their creativity. For instance, when they are using wooden toy boxes they can create new or different shapes depending on the toy selected.
Some studies about how children are being affected by television and video games (source: news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/panorama/6228887.stm) are pointing to the need to reduce the time spent using those devices, and use the remaining time in activities in the real world; playing with a battery car would be a better option.
Next Month, Hibba.co.uk and TheToyPalace.co.uk will promote strongly the use of traditional children’s toys using aggressive marketing strategies focused in the parents and the main users, kids.
There are a lot of educational toys that allow our kids to develop their spacial abilities and creativity. Doll houses, for example, allow them to play with their imagination in a safe environment.
Before deciding to buy another electronic gadget for your infants, people should think about traditional toys like the ones offered by hibba.co.uk. They have carefully selected a variety of toys that will help your kids to develop their creativity and spacial ability if they are used at the right age. As Waheed Ahmed summarises: “It’s simple: the right toys at the right age will aid your children to develop cognitive faculties that cannot be built by virtual games alone”.

Kids toys seem to evolve with each generation, especially with the introduction of modern technology. This factor can influence the way that you choose your kids toys. If you want to avoid wasting your money on toys that your kids will ignore, do not automatically buy the toy that you liked the best when you were a kid.
If you do, chances are good that this replay of your childhood days may end in frustration or you may end up playing with the toy to show your kid how you used to have fun with the toy, which could turn into a lame situation quickly, depending on the toy. You will need either an ultra fantastic toy or a traditional favorite toy to pull this off successfully. Examples of such traditional toys include the ball, doll and miniature replica toys including vehicles and household items. The entertainment ante has been raised in the toys arena since the introduction of electronics.
Especially for children who regularly watch TV, there may be a greater desire for new fashioned toys instead of the traditional toys. Electronic toys, handheld games, video game systems and other interactive toys attract the attention of many children. It is not always the best thing to cater to such wants.
Before deciding on the best toy for any child, it is important to think about different factors. These factors will allow you to zero in on the type of toy that will best suit your child. To make a good choice in a kids toy, you will need to consider the child’s age, interests, skill level and their favorite things including color.
When you have considered the factors that will influence a child’s level of interest in the toy, you are ready to choose a toy that will have the greatest benefit for your child. The toys that are the best for your kids are toys that promote physical activity, are educational or have both qualities. You can then choose a toy that is played with one player, many players or teams.
If you want to add more physical activity to your child’s life through toys, you can do so. This is a healthier alternative to relying on sedentary forms of children’s entertainment. There are card games, board games, video games and activity games that will increase a child’s movement instead of hindering it.
Many kids toys are educational. The most fun educational kids toys are related to science, reading, math, art, music and crafts. These toys offer a hands on way of learning that is fun for different age groups. Educational toys can enhance a child’s hand and eye coordination while engaging the mind.
These types of toys can complement, enrich and expand on concepts being taught in the child’s school curriculum. Despite being educational, these toys can be truly enjoyable and engaging when the toy is appropriate for the child.
With some forethought, you can choose a great kids toy that will satisfy your desire for a toy that has real benefits for your child. A kids toy is best enjoyed when it is chosen because it appeals to a child personally in some way. Your kids toy has extra value when it is educational or promotes a physically active lifestyle.
Igloo Kids has a great selection of kids clothes and kids books for children of all ages.
