I watch the ripples change their size. But never leave the stream.
-David Bowie (Changes)
The book, Caring Spaces, Learning Places: Children’s Environments that Work, provides this helpful list of questions to answer before purchasing a toy:
- "What experiences will children really have with this toy?
- Could the same experience be provided with found materials?
- Will it be used appropriately or remain intact in my setting?
- Will it wear gracefully and safely or become unsafe or useless once damaged?
- Is it something that children will all have at home anyway?"
