Old Fashioned Toys Good For Kids, say experts
January 16, 2007
I found this interesting article touting the benefits of old fashioned toys. A couple of quotes:
” … I would suggest that parents delay kids’ exposure to these (high-tech) toys as long as possible,” Diane Levin, a Wheelock College child-development expert, said.
Melanie Paulson, early intervention/preschool teacher at General Beadle School in Rapid City, is a staunch supporter of traditional toys.
“They allow for more creativity,” she said. “The kids can experiment with their own cause and effect.”

I think there is space in baby’s life for old fashioned and modern toys. My son is really into rolly things now, balls and cylindrical blocks, but also loves pushing buttons particularly if they do something.
