Toys, like play itself, serve multiple purposes, they provide
entertainment while fulfilling an educational role. Toys enhance
cognitive behavior and stimulate creativity. They aid in the development
of physical and mental skills which are necessary in later life.

unique textures. Through play with toys infants begin to recognize
shapes and colors.
