Eight ta Tea From eight to ten realistic ten dencies replace the imaginary. s.- -'. i By ERM1NA FISHER ' County Extension Agent, Home Economics Last week we discussed with you the selection of toys for the infant and toddler, however many of you would like specific sug gestions of things to choose for the three to six year old and for the older child. j d i Since toys are the essentials oL childhood the problem of par ents is "What kind, and how many, should and can we provide?? For relatives or friends that problem generally becomes lim ited to mainly, "What kind?" For Three to Six Toys are much the same for this age group as for the toddler, only with more ; definite con structive efforts. Toys should help develop both the large and small muscles. The imagination is developing. Interests of boys and girls are much the same in this period. Simple gym equip ment provides for big muscle ac tivity. Wagons, tricycles, all sorts of wheel toys, and sleds when ever there is snow are always welcome. Simple construction toys and puzzles; blocks of more sizes and shapes; trains, trucks, cranes, etc.,! to use with the blocks, as well as farm and ; zoo animals; hammer and nail sets all increase manipulative skill and motor control. Easel paints, finger paints, clar. drawing sets, weaving and sewing equipment, gardening eauioment. paper and blunt end scissors, and paste all neip de velop creative interests. Make-believe is loved by tbis group. Housekeeping equipment. doctor and nurse kits, Indian nd cowboy costumes and this type of thine will be welcomed. Musical instruments are . of continued . interest, both for in dividual use and for small groups. Six to Eirht At this period there appears a great difference of interests be tween boys and girls activities. though they still play- together much of the time. Play centers around love of activity, sports and games, and being with "the gang." From six to eight there is development of better coordina tion and control. Girls maintain their interest in dolls, in doing "real" housekeep ing and simple sewing for their doll families. They like doll house play with miniature dolls and furniture, while pfxr dolls are very popular too. 1 i Boys especially enjoy electric trains, sports equipment j for football, fishing, etc. as well as tool chests. Construction equipment, such as knives, wood carving and wood burning are en joyed, i i Bicycles become of great im portance to this group. Archery, stilts, tennis and roller skates along with trapeze bars, rings and parallel bars are very, pop ular because the six to eight year old still likes lots of active 'phys ical play. WW Ltf7 U -4 J ( wi m -f j ' if; rV. Urn SMh, Xmtt Q MtiJn You might call this the "hobby age, and hobbies will change from time to time, but whatever is their hobby j: at the moment they are very desirous for equip ment to carry it out, for it is of great absorbing j interest while it lasts.; f At this stage of development they want to do more difficult things. More detailed construe tion sets, science toys, telegraph sets, railroad systems, carpentry tools, model building materials, more difficult i weaving frames. small bead looms, modeling ma terial, equipment for plastic work all help them learn to cre ate. I Dress up is still fun, but they want more complete and detailed costumes. They are very inter ested in early i history and like outfits to dramatize stories they hear and read. Cops, robbers and cowboys are typical play too. . Girls want to "really" cook and sew useful things. A play house big enough to get into would be the delight of any lilUe girls at this stage; however she will still enjoy the miniature size too. ! ! Games to supplement school work those j involving geogra phy, arithmetic, spelling, history, etc. are ol interest Maps and puzzles are popular if they are not too difficult; and magic tricks will be enthusiastically received. a mere xup oi a can opener to transform a plain float- ns island into a technicolor pro duction.
