Many parents spend substantial amount of money buying their children different toys. Although playing with toys much helps children with their intellectual development, it may have negative effect on their physical and social health.

Providing children with a wide range of toys makes it possible for them to mature mentally in relatively shorter time. Great number of toys are designed to trigger children’s variety of senses, making them wonder how certain objects are made or work. For example, toys, such as Lego Blocks can help them learn about colors and shapes as well as how blocks in different shapes fit onto one another while animal toys can give them insight into the animals’ body structure. Moreover, certain toys are made for educational purposes. Game puzzles, for instance, enhance children’s critical thinking by making them solve many interestingly challenging riddles.

However, while many toys can benefit children mentally, they can be disadvantageous for them in terms of their physical health and social well-being. Toys, especially those made of rubber, collect dust and bacteria. With children being exposed to such unclean toys, particular diseases, such as diaries and sore throat, may develop in them. In contrast, the biggest drawback of toys is that they can make children introvert, isolating them from human interaction. When children pass more time with toys instead of other children, they may not be able to improve the necessary communication skills and tend to develop preference for avoiding human contact.

To conclude, while toys can have positive influence on the children’s intelligence, they can cause health problems as well as psychological inconveniences for them.
