Is there such a thing as “too old” when it comes to having toys or playing with them? Disregard the age limit on that Puzzle Set. You can still play even after age 99!
Mommies and Daddies often have that little playtime with their kiddies, especially when you have to drink that imaginary tea (You know you have to, right? …lol)
Playing is an essential part of a child’s growth. It allows children to use their creativity while developing their imagination, dexterity, and physical, cognitive, and emotional strength. It also plays a key role in raising self-confident, creative, and happy children.
It is totally normal for your child to have, and play with toys even as they move into their teens.
Games of Strategy and Complex Puzzles are quite helpful at this age. It helps them apply already-known information to new situations. They are able to practice high-level thinking skills. They realize that the more they work on something, the better they become at it.
Role-playing games, and creativity games like Art Supplies or Complex Construction Toys can help your Big Kids learn new ways to express themselves. Toys with elements of adventure like scooters and skates are ideal for keeping “grownup” kids engaged.
The advantage of play for adults cannot be overemphasized. Stress relief toys like Squishables are known to do the magic after a hard task at the office!
