Why should children have a soft toy?

There are many reasons why soft toys can be an important part of a child’s development. One example is stimulating a child’s senses and therefore its brain through the varying textures of the soft toys. 

They're a pivotal part of the pretend play that you should be encouraging in your child. Pretend play promotes social and communication skills. It's also a safe way for a child to express themselves. Children explore the world around them through play. They act out scenes that they have seen or imagined. By acting out these scenes, children are also developing language skills. They learn about emotions.

Pretend playing encourages problem solving and communication as well as empathy.

An inspiration for STEM

You can use the realistic plush animals as a springboard to the zoology component of STEM.

Children can be inspired to investigate various questions. They could include where the animal lives, what it eats and how the animal has adapted to live in its environment.

The soft toy just could become the inspiration for a passion in ecology, zoology and other related sciences
