description | Infants spend much of their waking time exploring toys and other objects. Although there is a great deal of research supporting the importance of object play for cognitive development, we tend to be casual about toy selection and use.

This paper presents arguments for a more thoughtful approach to toy research, toy selection, and toy use. |
