Children are naturally curious, but many toys limit how that curiosity can be explored. Toys that only do one thing often lose their appeal quickly. Open-ended DIY toys allow children to explore, experiment, and discover new possibilities every time they play.
Encouraging Exploration Through Play
DIY toys don’t tell children exactly what to do. Instead, they invite kids to figure things out on their own. Whether building, tracing, or assembling, children stay engaged because the experience changes with each use.
