Children's Day is a time when we particularly celebrate the joy and boundless creativity of children, a unique moment to show them in a special way that they are important and loved. Various ways exist to celebrate this extraordinary day, but one thing is certain – IT'S EVERY SMYK'S DAY!
This special holiday reminds us of the needs of the youngest, especially one of the most crucial – play, especially shared play with other children. It's their key developmental activity – through it, they can be whoever they want, explore the world safely, acquire new skills, and use them in practice. Learning through play is the most effective!
Parents can support play and children's development by choosing intelligent, well-designed, and interesting toys. At SMYK, you can choose from thousands of products for children of all ages and various interests.
Even for very little ones, it's worth giving toys that will provide safe stimuli and stimulate their senses. The selection of colors, shapes, and textures in books, hanging toys, rattles, or teething toys changes with age, and new features emerge. Sounds, melodies, animal noises, and educational recordings appear, and manipulation elements support motor development. The SMIKI brand, available exclusively at SMYK, offers a wide range of toys for infants – from rattles and books to practical push toys and even a Polish-speaking educational Dog controlled by a remote. Parents can also find trusted toys from global brands at SMYK – the friendly 4-in-1 Fisher-Price Robot offers three levels of play for a growing toddler, and the Magical Drum by Hape introduces children to the world of sounds and instruments. Motor toys, such as the Cutie Kinderkraft balance bike, can be used both indoors and outdoors, and even the youngest children, once they start walking, can experience the joy of riding a bike.
As children grow, the repertoire of toys that will interest them becomes almost limitless. It's worth following their interests, fulfilling children's dreams of gifts, but also looking for new inspirations and proposing previously unknown activities – and not following conventions, but knowing your children. The SMIKI Buggy is a remote-controlled racing car that both boys and girls love. The SMIKI microphone with a speaker, karaoke function, and Bluetooth will be a great pretext for organizing a home karaoke party or an international children's song festival, during which every little artist will find a satisfying role. Whether a toy, traditionally seen as intended for boys or girls, is played together by a brother and sister or friends, fewer and fewer real limitations exist regarding professional and social roles. Therefore, thematic games are gaining more significance, allowing children to embody any roles and freely check and test what gives them pleasure and satisfaction. Is it better to be a scientist and study nature under a microscope using the Super Microscope by Clementoni? Or a drone pilot with the Revell Extreme? Or maybe a builder or architect who can create new extraordinary worlds from blocks? LEGO bricks are an exceptional example of a toy that can be for everyone, as the diversity of sets satisfies the most diverse tastes. LEGO City allows you to embody real roles, such as policemen or firefighters, and replicate various social situations. LEGO Friends focuses more on realizing one's own ideas about life, such as running a sandwich bar. The LEGO Speed Champions series will appeal to fans of car racing, and LEGO Minecraft is loved by younger and older enthusiasts of this pixelated world.
Toys help children enter the world, explore their possibilities, and build a sense of agency. Shared play inspires, brings closer, and teaches how a community works, how to find oneself in a group, or how to get along with those who think differently from us. Children inspire each other, help each other, and provide care when someone requires special attention. Differences in the children's world are accepted with naturalness and openness, and joint action allows children who have greater difficulties to experience what their peers do. Playing with other children helps build relationships, trust, and friendship – it connects because joy excludes no one!
Let's support children's play, give them space and time for this most natural activity for them, and give them toys that will encourage them to reach further and higher, with childlike trust that everything is possible.
