Open-Ended Toys

 

Introduction

The term "open ended" in the description of toys means that the ways of playing with it are endless and limited only by the child's imagination. There is no right or wrong way to play with an open ended toy. It is multi-purpose and can even grow with your child, it inspires imagination and creativity. 

Dr. Dimitro Christakis, professor of paediatrics at Seattle Children's Hospital Research Institute and the University of Washington describes open ended toys as "Toys that foster children's imagination, that have the potential to be different every time they play with it.
