Games and play

Games are suitable for all age groups, from toddler to grandparents. They are particularly valuable for children as they can be effective teaching aids without children realising they are undertaking learning. Board games are also fabulous family fun and can offer younger children the opportunity to participate at an equal level with other family members. Turn off the TV for one night a week and try a family game - you'll have heaps of fun.  

Hobbies and play

Hobbies and play are not just about fun. Playing with hobbies is an effective method for developing real life skills. They help in the areas of problem solving, skills development (especially fine motor skills), creativity, and following instructions to achieve an outcome. They can also help in the development of fitness and gross motor coordination along with social skills.

The value of play

Play is an essential part of growing up. Through play children develop and learn about the world around them. This leaflet has been produced by the Australian Toy Association to help you select the best toys for your child. Remember to consider toy safety, and purchase your toys from a specialist toy store where the staff are trained in child development.  

Toddlers and play

Toddlers are mobile, curious and energetic as they begin to gain greater control over their bodies. This stage is an exciting time for children as they learn what is fun and what they are capable of doing. The speed of development is rapid, so try to create new play opportunities as well as repeating past activities. This leaflet provides guidelines about what toddlers can do and suitable games, toys and activities.
