Toys engage a child's senses, spark their imaginations and encourage them to interact
with others, nurturing their creativity and imagination. Toys are fun, but toys are also
tools that help children learn about themselves and the world around them. Play is
critical to the healthy growth and development of children. As children play, they learn to
solve problems, to get along with others and to develop the fine and gross motor skills
needed to grow and learn. Children vocalized less while playing with electronic gadgets
than with toys. Also, adult say less words and there is less conversational play.

the quantity and quality of language skills, a child will obtain rather than mobile or
online games. An idea of how necessary it is for parents to not give up on traditional toys,

grossing nearly half a billion dollars during the year. Given that in the first half of 2015

retailing within video games (accounting for three quarters of value sales), as the share
of internet retailing within traditional toys and games was negligible in 2018.
