I think sometimes parents are concerned if their child is obsessed with a particular toy, and ‘all they do is play with cars’. This shows how much opportunity there is to explore and learn if you let kids follow their passions and play. Hope you’ll come and link up with us again at the Play Academy on Friday. Cathy :0)

That’s a good point. I don’t worry exactly, but sometimes I think my big girl spends way too much time playing babies – doesn’t it get boring? I’ll have to watch to see what sorts of different things she’s doing during the game.

I always find it valuable to sit and observe their play for a while – especially listening to their chat. You might find she’s got colours, counting, all sorts going on. And of course there are so many things you can add into doll play if you think you’d like to encourage her to explore a bit more.

As a former preschool teacher/administrator, I really enjoyed this look into cars 🙂 Play is the most important job kids have…and I wish more parents understood the importance of playing.

Thanks for a good reminder. And Happy TT!

I have to admit when I read the title to this topic my mind went straight to games to be played on car journeys rather than the actual content.
Wow I never thought that the simple process of playing with a toy car could actually be quite an education process.

I have always believed toys and games must be educative for kids. Your analogy of comparing three basics laws with some basic car games is just brilliant. Balls and other motion toys can help too.
