Scientists say that playing with the opportunity to be creative is one of the basic needs for children’s development, and the desire to play is anchored in children’s personality.

How do children play? Do kids today play differently from the ways I used to play?

When I was a child, I didn’t have many toys. A dollhouse that I once got for Christmas was the greatest gift I could imagine. My siblings(兄弟姐妹), my friends and I played “Mom and Dad” with the dollhouse and our dolls again and again, never getting tired of it. The first Lego blocks came up replacing the traditional wooden building blocks. The lack of ready-to-use-toys inspired us to create our own using many kinds of material like paper to fold into ships or hats, or wood to carve toys.

If I compare the ways I used to play with the ways my children play now, there are many differences. Their rooms are filled with toys, and nevertheless they sometimes have no idea what to play. Having too many choices makes them feel overwhelmed, unable to take advantage of each single one.

Also, the toys themselves have changed dramatically. I see many plastic toys ready to use; there is no need for children to create their own ideas and invent their own toys. Electronic toys are on the rise, displacing classical toys. Children don’t need to be creative; playing does not involve much imagination. Now they expect some kind of simulation and entertainment. Electronic toys require more passive reactions and logical thinking. Playing outdoors has become less interesting as this would keep them away from their video games and play stations.
