One of the most common types of children's toys which require batteries
are those which make sounds and those which move. So let us first explore the
different types of toys that are available which make sounds. It is a
well-known fact, in terms of child development, that different sounds can help
to stimulate learning in children. Children can identify different stimuli with
sounds that are produced. Therefore, children's toys which use sound to aid
your child's development can certainly help them to learn. Examples of such
toys include books with images such as animals with buttons for your child to
press...once pressed the sound that the corresponding animal makes can be
heard. The child then begins to associate the sound that the animal makes with
the corresponding picture. In later stages of development this type of learning
can be coupled with words so that your child can go on to learn how to spell
the names of animals.
The other main type of battery operated toy
includes motorised play vehicles such as battery powered go-carts for children.
These types of toys generally allow your child to sit securely within them, on
a seat, and press button or press levers and/or foot pedals to make the play
vehicle move. These types of toys and also be combined with buttons which
produce sounds. This is great because different type of stimuli can be
introduced simultaneous to provide your child with a more broad and
well-rounded learning experience. Learning several different things at once can
be accelerate learning and encourage your child to multitask battery operated toy cars.
Different toys are aimed at different age ranges and genders. So your
female child might prefer to play with battery operated toys which are branded
towards their favourite TV characters and vice versa for your male child. For
instance, girls might prefer Dora the Explorer whereas boys might prefer
Thundercats. Purchasing your child battery operated toys that play recording of
your child's favourite TV show or cartoon can help your child to engage with
the toy and, therefore, help learning to take place. The simple psychology here
is that children love to play with toys in general but when they are really
interested in certain toys they will play with them more...learning,
ultimately, should be fun in order to hold your child's attention. On the other
hand, children should always be introduced to a range of different types of
