Toys For Learning Communication
Children learn first language from their parents. Their parents speak to them. They point to interesting things and repeat lots of words. Babies listen and slowly learn to speak.
Playing helps babies language grow. Many toys help children to communicate. Toy telephones, dolls, toy animals and puppets help children learn to talk. Sometimes parents and children play together with toys. Communication becomes a wonderful game. A favourite toy of many children is a telephone. It makes them feel like Mum or Dad. Small children talk to toy animals and dolls. They talk like their parents talk to them. Very young children like to have puppets and talk for them.
