The way children of different age groups play house will change with the development of cognition, language, and social skills, and the core differences are reflected in the complexity of gameplay, social participation, and depth of character understanding.
1. 2-3 years old: Self centered simple imitation
The gameplay focuses on "single actions" and often repeats simple actions seen in reality, such as using a toy spoon to "eat" or covering a doll with a blanket, without connecting them into a complete plot.
Social interaction is mainly based on "parallel games", and even when playing with other children, they play their own games with little interaction or cooperation.
The understanding of the character is limited to "doing actions", such as picking up a stethoscope and thinking of oneself as a "doctor", but not clear about the specific responsibilities of the doctor.
2. 4-5 years old: Starting to collaborate in narrative games
The gameplay has been upgraded to "have a simple plot", which can connect multiple actions together, such as "buy groceries first → cook at home → feed the doll", and also add one's own imagination, such as "the doll is sick and needs to go to the doctor".
Actively "seek cooperation" in social interaction, they will actively invite partners to join, negotiate and assign roles (such as "you are a mother, I am a baby"), start to learn to share toys and take turns to participate.
A deeper understanding of the roles, knowing the basic responsibilities of different roles, such as "doctors need to auscultate and prescribe medicine for patients" and "teachers need to teach children how to sing".
3. Ages 6 and above: Complex collaborative role-playing
The gameplay presents a "complex plot+rule setting", with detailed scenes and plots designed, such as simulating a "supermarket opening", dividing tasks among "cashiers, guides, customers", and establishing rules for "payment" and "change".
Socially emphasizing 'deep collaboration', able to discuss plot development around common goals, resolve conflicts in the game (such as' what if the customer doesn't bring money '), and even divide labor to prepare' props' (using colored paper as currency).
The understanding of the character is close to "realistic logic", able to imitate the tone, expression, and behavior of the character, such as imitating the tone of the teacher when playing the role of "teacher" and showing a serious attitude when playing the role of "doctor".

Why do little boys like toys like construction cars
The little boy's preference for engineering car toys is the result of a combination of physiological needs, psychological exploration, and environmental guidance. From a physiological development perspective, the movable lifting arms, digging buckets, and other components of engineering vehicles can help children exercise their fine hand movements and hand eye coordination skills while operating them. Their heavy appearance, metallic texture, and simulated roaring sound can also bring strong visual and auditory stimulation, which is in line with boys' natural preference for "sense of power". In terms of psychological needs, construction vehicles have clear "task attributes". When children imitate construction scenes to complete simulation tasks such as excavation and transportation, they can gain a strong sense of achievement and control, stimulate creativity and logical thinking. Meanwhile, construction vehicles are often seen in rare daily scenarios such as construction sites. This "unfamiliar yet powerful" machinery can arouse children's curiosity about the unknown world, allowing them to indirectly explore the construction activities of the adult world through toys. In addition, in the family and social environment, construction vehicles are often assumed to be "boys' toys", and the postnatal guidance of parents, animations, etc. will further strengthen this love. It should be noted that this is not an absolute preference, and many girls may also like construction cars.

Why the material of children's toys is very important
Safety: Children's skin is delicate and prone to allergic reactions to certain materials. For example, PVC material in plastic toys may contain phthalates, which are harmful to the human body, especially posing a potential threat to children's health 1. Therefore, choosing non-toxic and harmless materials is the key to ensuring the safety of children. Environmental friendliness: The material of children's toys needs to meet environmental standards and avoid using materials containing harmful substances. For example, wooden toys usually use natural wood, which does not contain harmful chemicals and is more environmentally friendly and safe 2. In addition, high-quality plush toys should use environmentally friendly materials that have passed international safety certification to ensure that they will not cause irritation to children's skin 3. Durability: Children have a strong curiosity and enjoy exploring and playing, so toys need to have high durability. High quality wooden toys usually have clear textures, are resistant to falling and not easily deformed, and can withstand children's play 4. Poor quality plastic toys are prone to damage, which not only affects children's playing experience but may also pose safety hazards. Educational significance: The material of toys not only affects their appearance and feel, but may also have an impact on children's cognitive development. For example, the diverse colors and styles of wooden toys can stimulate children's visual nerves, cultivate their color recognition ability and hand eye coordination ability. In addition, toys made of natural materials can allow children to experience the beauty of nature and promote their sensory development.
