Toys enhance cognitive behaviour and stimulate creativity.
Toys and play in general are an important part of learning about the world and growing up.
The young use Pre-School toys and play to discover their identity, help their bodies grow strong, learn cause and effect, explore relationships, and practice skills they will need as adults.

Board Games and traditional family games promote team work and interaction between other children or adults.

Video Games are computer- or microprocessor-controlled games. Computers can create virtual tools to be used in a game, such as cards or dice, or far more elaborate worlds where mundane or fantastic things can be manipulated through game play.

Radio Controlled Toys
All types of vehicles imaginable have had RC systems installed in them, including cars, boats, planes, and even helicopters and scale railway locomotives.
Radio control has been around since the late 1800s with Nikola Tesla having demonstrated a remote control boat in 1893.
In the 1990s miniaturised equipment became widely available, allowing radio control of the smallest models.
