Are Toys Connected With Childhood Development?

Of course they are connected with childhood development.
When a baby is born, we all start to show our love towards the little newborn.
I love babies..As for me, I draw the newborn attention by creating sounds. Haha...
When the baby look at me, Oh Gosh... I would feel that I had done it. The baby is looking at  me.
She/he only want me. Yahoo...Ii feel so special and accomplished something in life.

I love that feeling. I even use the peek-a -boo game to make the baby play with me. Sometimes I even make silly looks to make the baby smile at me.

We all get excited when a new small life is brought into our life. All our attention will be towards them. We all want to communicate and be with them. But how?

Of course with toys!!!

So I start to search how toys actually related to childhood development. To my surprise toys playing a huge role in a child's life.

Let me share about my findings why toys are important and how they are actually helping child's development.

# Importance 1 Improve your child's language skill with toys!

Your newborn baby will start to speak baby language when you start play with them. They will start to make connection with you by making some sounds. Even though they don't understand us and we don't understand them, there will be a bonding between us. The more you be with them, your child will start to communicate faster with you. Communication doesn't meant that it should be in the form of speaking. It can be in the form of actions too. Have you ever notice your child talking to the toys? Even this habit will make them to communicate well.

#Importance 2 Cognitive Thinking

Children are so curious to find out how things working around them. I think not only children but me too...:P
For instance, they learn about gravity indirectly when they drop their toys accidently. When they know about it, they sure want to play it again and again. Of course they don't know the real meaning or how gravity works all but they understand what is gravity.

# Importance 3 Toys Develop Social Skills

Your child's world is so special. It is something that we don't understand much. Since they born, everything is new to them. they are so curious to learn the things around them and people around them. Just imagine when you meet a small child and you want to talk with her. but she hesitates or feel afraid of you. what you do? Of course you will offer something she likes or do something she love to do. Most of the time we will offer chocolates, sweets or toys. Then only she feels that you are friendly and willing to be with you. When she around with other children she start to share her toys and play with them together. This would the basic of developing social skill of your children. Soon they will be able to mingle around easily.

#  Importance 4 Toys increase their problem-solving abilities

Problem solving ability is very important for your child in the future. The toys you bought for them will teach

them this skill. Puzzle toys will be your child's teacher in teaching problem solving abilities. Have you already got a puzzle toy for your child ready? Teach your child these ability in fun way!

# Importance 5 Toys allow children more creative

This is absolutely true. I'm sure all of you will agree with that. Just give a child a broom. In his hands it may became a witch broom, guitar or aliens. They are so creative. I still remember...... when I was a small girl, I used to take all the silver plates in our kitchen and make noises with that. It feel like I'm playing the drums.

# Importance 6 Understanding of size, shape, and texture 

Nowadays there are lot of types of toys. I noticed a type toy where it can make your child teeth stronger. When they play with toys, they have to touch it and feel it. This helps them understand size, shape and texture of an object. Nowadays you can find a lot of educational toys which can help your children study while playing.  For example some toys are attached with sound recorder. I used own one where when I touch the cow image a "moo" sound is created, while when i touch cat image "meow meow" sound is created. Its kinda of fun when play it. Here I should say this, children's ability to learn things through image, videos and sound are more effective compare to books. They will remember what they had studied for a longer period of time.

Now that we know the importance of toys..
Do we know what type of toys we should buy for our children to help them explore things around them?

Wait until my next post... :)

Daily Updates - Regular Felt and Wool Felt.... What is the difference?

Regular Felt and Wool Felt both sounds similar to me until I found out the difference between them.
When I started to do plush toys for my business, I thought of buying raw materials from internet.
As I searched through internet there are many types of felt cloths.
Oh my god I don't know which type of felt I should use for my toys. as i read more about felt, finally I figured out the difference between regular felt and wool felt.

This is regular felt.

Regular felts are thicker compared to wool felt. They are also rough compared to wool felt. Most of the time, regular felts available in A4 sizes. In my opinion, regular felts are suitable for 2d plush toys since 2d plushies does not require flipping. It is also suitable for beginners because we can easily stitch using this felt.

These are wool felts :

Wool felt is something I love the most. the texture of wool felt is suitable for making stuffed toys or we can say 3d plush toys. we can also easily flip them.

These are some of my 3d plush toys that I made using wool felt..

Wanna have it for free???

Check out my facebook fanpage (FB) to know more about it.

Tips to Wake Up Early

As a student, I love being a night owl. You know why? Only at night time, I can hang out with my friends without any disturbance. We will be having great fun.  If it is morning we have to study, attend our classes finish our assignments. Sometimes we will just stay awake more than 12 hours just to finish our assignment. of course it is last minute job. In university life, it is common for us to join a lot of programs. I love to participate in dancing programs or any programs related to music. Since dance requires practice and practice require time, all my free time at the evening is fully packed with these kinda activities. Sometimes i do rehearsal until midnight.

Those moments was best moments in my life.. and i miss them alot...

Now I want to change..I don't want to be night owl..I want to early rooster that wakes up everyone else..
Well it is going to be really tough for me since I'm used being a night owl. But what to do u have to change your habit if you want to be healthy and live longer to be with your loved ones. In order to motivate me to wake up earlier I tried some of tips below. I hope you guys can find it useful..

Tip 1: Place your alarm far away from you

I had tried many times to wake up early but it always failed. When alarm rings, I will tell myself that ' it's OK still got some time don't worry' , I will continue to sleep again. Then I will get ready and go to my class in rush. always going to class late gives bad impression about you to others. So by putting the alarm far away, you don't have chance to click the snooze button.

Tip 2: Plan what you should do earlier

My grandparents always woke up at 5 am and start to do their daily routine. For me it is really impossible for me to wake up at that time unless i really have something important to do at that time. They told me that by waking up early they feel more energetic and motivated to do things. According to research our brain is more productive in the early morning. Do you know why? our mind is resting when we are sleeping. After the break our brain is fully charged and ready to face the day. By waking up early in the morning you can do important tasks that requires you a lot attention efficiently. So before you go to bed , plan what you need to do tomorrow morning. this will motivate you to wake up early.

Tip 3: Award yourself

All of us love when we get awards, praises and presents. Its not fair right when we anything wrong we get all the blame, scolding and punishment but when we did something good we don't get anything. Awarding yourself is a great motivating factor that will help you to wake up earlier. If you had successfully wake up early in the morning for 1 whole week treat yourself with any delicious meal or any stuffs that you like.

Tip 4: Practise morning exercise

I know most of us prefer to do our exercises in the evening after finish work or class. However your body will be more productive and energetic if you do exercise in the morning. Sometimes we will cancel our exercise if anything else turn up in the evening. If we do it the morning time we can avoid any interruption and also can view sunrise which is a good meditation. In order to wake up early in the morning, ask your friends to join with when going for jogging. In this way you would wake up early in the morning to keep your promise with your friends. You can stay healthy and fit at the same time by following this tip.

Tip 5: Slow....

And finally my dear friends as I told in my previous post do things a little at a time you gradually you can see the improvement. First try to wake up 30 minutes earlier than your usual time then only gradually increase it. Don't try to change your habit in sudden it is not good for your health.

thats all from me....

ok see you guys.
good night.

lucky day

Today I called it as a lucky day for me. I didn't win any cool prizes or any other lucky things happen to me..

Wait..the day haven't end yet so I still got chance I think :)

7 and 5 both brings luck to me that why I regard this day as my lucky day. Actually I didn't do anything today. But I had learnt an important lesson. Some of you will think that I already know that for a long time ago. You now only know that? Whatever it is I'm feeling great right now that i learnt that. wanna know what  I learnt?

I learnt to learn.

huh.....I know its kinda weird..but just accepted it...

All these days I only had done what others told me to do. It's like follow the instructions. I act like a small girl. To be honest , I'm very childish. I imagine myself as a child and act like one. Others don't like it. But for me i love it. Have you ever heard people say that children are the only one who are happy always. That why you can see a smile on them always. Even some of my friends post in facebook that I wish I can go back to my childhood where there is no stress, workload and pressure.

Today an article just change my mindset. All these years I had read many articles but none of them really had an effect on me. This article is like a little magic. I start to learn things that I don't know, helps me to move forwards,  helps me to know more about myself and finally to improve myself. Although I do only little things a day, it gives a great satisfaction to me.

I had become more focused about my life and what should do to achieve my goals and ambitions. I know when you are reading my blog you already know that I'm just pouring out what in mind right in an messy way.

Well as I said before, I am learning slowly. Now i'm learning to write a blog everyday so that it becomes my routine. Gradually I will learn to write in a mannered and attracted way to magnetize people to my blog.  Soon I can become a good blogger.

As I said, I learn small things only in a day which gives a great contribution in my life.

So start to learn my friends..one at a time..then you can be expert on what you are learning whether a skill or anything you are focused on.

enjoy your day..

                                                 

As you guys see i'm not an active blogger nor a good writer. I either update my blog two weeks once or on monthly basis. To be honest, many times I had challenged myself to write a blog every day or atleast two days  once. however sometimes I just too busy and ignored it. now I think it's time to change. I cannot be like this anymore. We all must improve ourself. I writing this publicly so that this time I will keep updating my blog and also improve my writing skills. Its time to change.
