Halloween Arts and Crafts are Childhood Keepsakes

October 24, 2012

We are asked… “Do you have any products that can bring together families for the holidays?”

We have hundreds of toys that make great Holiday Gifts for children of all ages, but fall is a particularly great time of year for connecting socially with children over arts and crafts.  From school science projects to holiday traditions, arts and crafts projects provide social interaction for families and the projects that are created become family keepsakes from simple Halloween costumes, to drawings of pumpkins, zombies and pilgrims, and even home-made holiday greeting cards.

Drawing Spooky Cats and Black Hats

The most Creative Halloween Costumes were first a drawing somewhere; and kids can make fun, simple face masks from paper, crayons and string. From designing their own unique costume or for creating spooky Jack-o’-lantern decorations for an upcoming Halloween party the TAG Toys Hobby Art Table helps these projects along with its built-in paper roll dispenser.

Playing with Toys Promotes Independence

October 22, 2012

We are asked: “How can a parent encourage childhood independence?”

Encouraging childhood independence is a complex process that requires solo experimentation for children and the requirement for parents to let go a little bit. Independent playtime with toys is a well researched area that provides a balanced situational opportunity and a safe zone for children to independently think and experiment, which fosters mental growth and creatively. Parents who are interested in finding toys that are specially designed to assist in their efforts to develop a child’s independence can look to TAG Toys.

The benefits of independent play with toys is well documented, and toys like those from TAG Toys have been developed with this research in mind. Our products encourage independent thinking, like a hobby/arts table which promotes creative and artistic development, to a family doll house which promotes independent role play and situational analysis skills, and even a fun little puppet theater where children can manage imaginary discussions and work through pretend problems by talking out loud, or create an original adventure.
