Most experts agree that promoting creativity and engaging your children in pretend play is vital for their development. It teaches problem-solving, cooperation, and benefits their self-esteem. It also allows them to figure out who they are, to try on different roles, such as a baker or firefighter, or to work through their own likes and dislikes. Puppets, for example, are a great way for them to create scenarios and work through problems, vent frustrations, and more. It is simply one more way busy moms can be sure that we are giving our kids an opportunity to think creatively and build the best future for them.
Originating in Germany, Haba toys are a great choice for the mom who wants to promote creative play in her home. These toys are beautiful, functional, and educational. Haba uses non-toxic colors and their wooden toys have a finish that is a protective, saliva-resistant, water-based varnish. Your little girl will love hosting her own teddy bear tea party with her box of petit fours or cupcakes.
