🧩 3. Toys Support Motor Skills

• Building blocks, puzzles, and arts & crafts develop fine motor control.

✨ 5. Toys Inspire Creativity and Imagination

• Imagination through play helps children process the world around them and envision possibilities beyond their current circumstances — especially important for children in poverty or crisis.
