Why You Should Encourage Your Child To Play

It may be some time ago, but remember when your teddy was your best friend, or when you used LEGO blocks to build your own little world within your bedroom walls? Childhood is such a wonderful time of magic and imagination, and major credit is due to the toys our boys and girls hold the most near and dear. https://youtu.be/nuMcGbh2HpQ This festive season, we hopped aboard Santa's sleigh, and along with him, we were determined to sprinkle some of this childhood magic to the kids in the UAE. We teamed up with Babyshop for our 12 Days of Kidzmas, where one lucky child won a popular toy, each day for 12 days. Plus we shared some extra festive cheer by sending out special gifts from Babyshop to some very excited kids. Focused on encouraging play this holiday season, the 12 Days of Kidzmas giveaways included Kindi Dolls designed to teach your little ones some valuable skills like being less fussy with eating and a Play-Doh Doctor Drill 'n Fill Dough Set which introduces your kiddos to dental hygiene – through play dough. Babyshop has a wide range of toys to help your child tap into their creativity - and now more than ever, with digital devices becoming a normal part of our young children's lives, it is important to encourage some plain old play. Along with giving your kids the freedom to think outside the box and explore both the physical world and their inner selves, toys can also be wonderful tools to develop different motor skills like dexterity and hand-eye coordination. Toys are also a great way to encourage engagement with siblings and friends and helps to develop your little one's social skills. From early development toys to the latest action figures and dolls, Babyshop offers the best toy brands for your boys and girls. Find your child's next favourite toy in the comfort and safety of your nearest Babyshop store, or online at Babyshopstores.com
