gets to take the other card away. All the primary school students have them. I guess that toy guns
and radio-controlled toy cars are also popular among the boys.
2. Would you say that parents spend too much money on toys nowadays?
I don't think so. Toys in China are usually quite cheap, except when it comes to video games and
buying a computer for the child to play and occasionally study. We can't deny the fact that kids
these days receive more toys than in the past, but it's definitely a good thing. My mother told me
she never had a single toy when she was a kid. They didn't even have a ball to play with. So if
parents buy toys, it's because they can afford it, and also because parents are giving a chance to
their kids to have what they didn't at the same age.
3. What are the skills that children can develop through playing with toys?
Well, some games are good for the children's hand-eye coordination. The radio-controlled toy cars
are a perfect example of this. The child must always keep an eye on the car while controlling the
remote with his 2 thumbs. I guess that most toys and games available for children allow them to
think by themselves, and also make them move around. So it can only be beneficial for the
children's development of motor skills. When they play with marbles or with a ball, kids sit and
stand up, jump around, catch and throw. They learn how to control their body. On top of this, some
games allow children to cooperate and help each other, especially like board games.
