Analysis of Children’s Toy/Game and Influence on Development

Complete an analysis on a children’s toy or game based on the cognitive development and either the physical or psychosocial development of infants, toddlers, or middle childhood. Pick a single toy or game in your house, at a store, or online and provide a description and image (as an appendix) of the toy/game. The toy selected must be suitable to answer all the questions and requirements of this assignment.

Indicate the target age range is for the toy/game. Is it gender specific? Does the manufacture make any claims

about the toy/game? Provide a description of how the toy/game meets a child’s specific cognitive and either

physical or psychosocial needs. Apply developmental theories to support the information you present.

Lastly, recommend at least one modification to improve the toy/game and explain how this would enhance at

least one of the areas of development (physical, psychosocial, cognitive).

Requirements:

  • 2-3 pages of content (Content pages do not include the title, references pages, appendix)
  • Minimum of 1 reference – textbook or scholarly source published within the last five years
  • APA format including cover page, in-text citations, and references page
