The NY Times recently highlighted a study in the journal, PEDIATRICS, "Reading Aloud, Play and Social-Emotional Development" which included findings important for parents and caregivers looking to understand the developmental power of toys. The report's key take-away is that not only does rich pretend play build communications skills, but it also helps kids control their behavior so that when the time comes for them to be attentive and learn, it's more likely to happen. The Times article goes on to say, "all parents should appreciate the ways that reading and playing can shape cognitive as well as social and emotional development, and the power of parental attention to help children flourish."

EARLY DEVELOPMENT: Sherry's experience in pediatric speech therapy has given her an eye for the best products to build attention, vocabulary and concepts through play, preparing children for their first sounds, words and sentences. While helping squirrel make acorn soup, describing and assembling a glow-in-the-dark puzzle, following directions from baby's soccer ball, or learning from a super hero watch, kids learn essential language skills.

READING AND WRITING: Listening to a favorite story projected on the ceiling in the dark, searching for a word in a continuous ring of letters, learning the essential parts of a story through Peppa's adventures, or playing learning games with a talking plush animal, all help children pick up essential skills to advance reading.

LANGUAGE STRUCTURE, CRITICAL THINKING AND REASONING: These outstanding products can build language structure, critical thinking and reasoning, often teaching vocabulary, concepts or grammar while delivering fun. Draw and guess attributes, build your bank of adjectives, construct the tale of the Three Pigs with illustrated story pieces and magnetic cubes, tap your critical thinking and memory skills to surprise players with your strategy, or unzip three nested puppets to explain the life cycle of a frog to strengthen communication skills.

STORY-TELLING / PRETEND PLAY: Whether searching for the treasure in a crocodile's skull cave, taking an x-ray of a foal in a mobile vet, setting up a chase scene between levels with your trap doors, or cooking breakfast on your cloth stove that slips over a chair, children enter the world of pretend, creating their own stories with plenty of flexible props to guide their imagination. Oral story-telling precedes writing as kids learn the steps to create a good narrative.

SOCIAL LANGUAGE: Complementary to pretend play, social language blossoms when children play with toys and games and interact with media that encourage extended social interactions. Playing cooperatively to hide the farm animals from the wolf, building a 3D VW puzzle with your family, recognizing and relating to augmented reality cartoon mood characters and their reactions, or choosing Super Me actions to help others, can equip kids to better name, understand and manage their emotions, leading to stronger EQ's.
