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 the varying textures of the soft toys. Another example includes the development of the social skills of toddlers through pretend play. They could feed the soft toys, put them to bed or cuddle them. Through pretend play, children are also encouraged to develop their language skills. An inspiration for STEM You can use the realistic animals as a springboard to the zoology component of STEM. The child 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. This animal just could become the inspiration for a passion in ecology, zoology and other related sciences.
