While you might not see toys as something other than a tool used to distract the little rascal so you can get a break, for a young child they shape most of his/her world. So the question for you as a parent is – how do you want their world to be? Do you want it to be loud and overwhelming, or do you want it to be quiet, soothing, and inspiring? I think the answer is obvious.
