What makes a good toy? For me, observing the daily habits of my 3-year old, a good toy is one which is selected most or which lends itself to use in multiple ways. Living in India, there is not a wide variety of playthings available in shops and many are plastic, which I try to avoid wherever possible. However, I’ve appreciated the lack of choice as it has forced me to be highly selective about toys. There are so many playthings which are initially attractive – perhaps have flashing lights or movement – but soon lose their appeal and end up gathering dust on the shelf.
