The Inspire Philosophy: Talk about Toys
When you think of toys, what do you think of?
Nowadays, toy stores are stocked to the brim with plastic and toys that are meant to be watched and not truly played with.
Play shouldn’t be passive!
Play should spark imagination, create opportunities for open ended experiences that can be repeated and have different outcomes every time they are used.
Loose parts, neutral colours and recycled materials are easily processed, don’t overload the senses and allow children to use their imaginations to make their play their own!
Children should be the decision makers in their own play, explore their wants and needs and have that reflected in their exploration of the resources and ‘toys’ around them. #theinspirephilosophy
As an eco nursery in Dubai who has been established in Jumeirah for the last 30 years, we are honored to welcome the next generation of students into the Kid’s Island Nursery in Jumeirah family and it is rewarding to hear parents say “I remember what it felt like when I experienced this at the nursery for the first time”. It is important to cherish your warm childhood memories and even more important to create new ones with your child.
