Can children really learn by playing? Can the toy really be an educational tool that teaches them useful concepts and makes them have functional experiences to deal with the real world?, THE TOY, EDUCATIONAL TOOL

The first form of learning for children inevitably passes through play. Especially for the little ones, the toy is the first tool, the first means that they manipulate, see and use to know and face everyday reality. For this reason, the educational potential of a toy, no matter how simple it is, is truly infinite. In the action of playing all the dimensions of a person’s growth are involved: the cognitive, the affective, the physical, the social and relational fields.

If for an adult the game is seen as a leisure, for children this activity represents a way to communicate and learn. When the child begins to be older, the game continues to have its educational function. When playing, the child, even at school age, does not feel valued, nor subjected to judgment. This is why he feels free to express himself and use the game freely and for this reason the game as an educational moment enters fully into the first years of school.

Quercetti has historically made the educational game his region of being. And still today the company’s production starts from the study of the educational function of the game.

The game is to all intents and purposes a valid educational tool. Whether it is food education, manipulation, or pre-printing, the child will never be able to help but approach reality through play.
