Playing is one of the first activities that we have to relate with our environment in other terms, playing with toys bring us with our reality.
Piaget says that childhood play brings us a great deal of freedom " performing", imagination that comes from art, this way a toy is the most expression in material form, that comes in unique pieces, that comes with entertainment and hand movement, as well as contact with color, shape, form and texture, even smell, senses come to a full use.
Mexican toys are very well known and sold all over the world they are hand made with natural materials, the use of color is one of its attractions, wooden made...we have " Baleros", " Yoyos", and other shape toys that make forms and constructions.
Children relate to color and wood, the toy makes children express their creativity and imagination, children reproduce the sounds of a bus, a horse, or a train...they are wonderful because kids move the object and recreate in their own world what other toys make automatically, leaving children just as expectations and receptors. We definitely encourage you to take a look at Mexican toys ! Your kids will love them :)
