Both traditional toys and technological toys are discussed. The handbook is expected to serve both as a reference for educators, parents, toy designers, and other interested readers, and as a catalyst for further research and ongoing toy development. Its purpose includes helping readers to gain knowledge that enables them to more fully appreciate the value of children's toy play, find out more about the favorite toys they had in childhood and relive those satisfying play experiences, and learn how to foster the learning, physical development, and social-emotional growth that comes from such\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection I: Toys as Cultural Phenomena\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: The Role of Toys in Promoting Children’s Development \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDoris Bergen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Developmentally Appropriate Insights from the National Toy Hall of Fame Christopher Bench\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Cultural History of Developmentally Appropriate Toys \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDorothy Sluss\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection II: Developmentally Appropriate Toys\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Large Blocks and Building Materials \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLynn Cohen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Small Blocks and Building Materials \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEleni Loizou\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Bicycles and Other Riding Toys \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eValerie Ubbes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Dolls and Animal Replicas \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Sutterby\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Finger\/Hand Puppets and Marionets \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOlga Jarrett\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 9: Climbing Toys and Structures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Doris Bergen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 10: Airplanes, Kites, Rockets\/Drones \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJason Abbitt\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 11: Balls, Beanbags, Frisbees \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDarrel Davis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 12: Replica Cars, Trucks, Trains, Other Vehicles\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnnerieke Boland\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 13: Science Toys \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShirley Morganthaler\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 14: Crayons and Paints\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheresa Settleberry\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 15: Kitchen\/Household Implement Replicas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDorothy Sluss\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 16: Real Life and Fantasy Dress up Clothes and Materials\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrooke Spangler\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 17: Board Games\/Technology Augmented Games\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJames Johnson \u0026amp; Sonia Twari\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 18: Craft\/Workshop Replicas \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSandra Stone\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 19: Indigenous Toys \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJean-Pierre Rossie\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 20: Books\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKathleen Roskos\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 21: Puzzles and Musical Toys \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDoris Bergen \u0026amp; Gail Burnett\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 22: Technology-Augmented Dolls, Animals, and Vehicles \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSohyun Meacham \u0026amp; Myae Han\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 23: Other Technology-Augmented Play Materials \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLena Lee\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection 3: Future of Developmentally Appropriate Toys\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 24: Designing Developmentally Appropriate Toys \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBarry Kudrowitz\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 25: Promoting Developmentally Appropriate Toys in a Changing Child Cultural World Doris Bergen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor Information\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040290996567,"sku":"9781475849202","price":57.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781475849202.jpg?v=1750946281","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-handbook-of-developmentally-appropriate-toys-9781475849202","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
