ABSTRACT
The study is an investigation into
the role of toys in the development of pre-school age children in Oye Local
Government Area of Ekiti State four (4) town were sample for the study. A well
structure questionnaire was used to gather data form the selected towns while
the outcome of the response obtained from the field of investigation was
analysed using simple percentage method. The study shows that role of toys have
developed pre-school age children in Oye Local Government Area. The study also
reveals the cause of low development of pre-school as a result of lack of toys
in Oye Local Government Area. Above all, some recommendations were made to
solve these problems.

BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
INTRODUCTION
Most parents have great dreams for
their children. They want them to be happy and successful in their home and
lives, but they know that inspite of the folk music, wishing will not make it
so in question they ask is “what will make it so” or more answerable what will
help make it so?”

lives, but they know that inspite of the folk music, wishing will not make it
so in question they ask is “what will make it so” or more answerable what will
help make it so?”
This essay tries to give us something
that are likely to help. There is no guarantee, but latest research in child
development strongly suggest that there experience.

Expressing the other way around, we
can now say that if certain kind of experience are not provide for a baby
during the first three years of life, the chances of his reaching the intellectual
potential was born with are probably reduced.

David Smiton (1970) says that “if you
take two babies born with equal natural gifts and leave one to lie in his cot
for hundreds of hours staring enjoyable and intellectually stimulation play the
second baby will build and advantage that will pay off in school and throughout
his life”.

The bright side of what research has
to tell us is this. The most helpful sorts of experiences for child are not
only easy for parents to supply, but are great fun for both parent and child
and they have all sorts of added benefits as side effects.

Playing with toys will help the child
develop basic skills such as focusing the eyes, co-ordinating the eyes and
hands, distinguishing differences among almost identical objects. Skills that
will have an immediate reward in fun and later reward in the ability perform
more complicated jobs such as reading and thinking.

In addition, baby will learn that
learning is enjoyable; he will get satisfaction not only from activity itself,
but also impart to the child some basic fact about himself and the world around
him. The sooner will have a confidence that is essential to many aspects of
life, but in particular to the inclination to explore that is to learn.

Another great benefit of the use of
toys can be the way it builds in you a sense of joy, love and accomplishment
with your child. You have a feeling of participating so much more in growth,
rather than just observing with it immediate excitement and in the long run a
much riches store of memory.

There are many ways to provide
experiences there are not fixed tasks and no notion that if your child does not
progress smoothly, page, he will be doomed. The basic principle is that you
should provide him with many interesting opportunities to learn, to explore, to
interact with you.

Playing with toys helps the child

skills learnt during the early childhood play do along was not only to forming
foundations for muscles skill, but also developing favourable attitude for work

At age 1 to 3 years until the child
goes to school, every child enjoys imaging that he is some one else doing something
he has heard about in stories for in the pictures in dramatizing as different
characters the child learns the mode of dressing tone of speech in which their
parents interest in it has declined over the years rather than when just wooden
doll was been given to the child to play with.
Parents count lesson toys in recent years, which should not be. There should be changes and improvement on
the use of toys in the development of the child.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
About the declining nature of using
toys personal observation from both educated and illiterate parents show that
parents make uninspiring statement nature and getting lost easily. Careless attitude of most parents towards the
toys would to large extent adversely affect the contribution of toys toward
materials have been improvised than that in the olden days when leaves and
flowers (in natural form) were given the child as toys.

The cost of toys is rather very
high. Most parents could not afford
it. The knowledge to be got by the child
from such toys is totally absent. Since
the parents have falled to provide the toys.
Most toys are not durable. The
nature discourages most parents from buying it for their children. Some parents have not seen toys as an
important material in the development of the child and so they pay less
attention to it. This adversely attract
the child’s early learning most parents lack the appreciate choice of toys
