We live in an age where everything is overdesigned. Your “phone” — a one-stop
shop for work, texts, entertainment, video chats, and news — is just the
beginning. You can’t seem to buy a vacuum, a toaster, or a fan without a
touchscreen, Wi-Fi linkup, and all that entails. Sometimes it’s overly
complicated. Sometimes, it adds to the use and value of the thing. But when it
comes to toys, it misses the point.

Toys help kids play. Playing is a social thing, an act of learning and
observing, interacting and communicating. Through an object, kids can see each
other and the world. High-minded and lofty? You bet. In a world filled with
screens and connectivity, it’s also awesomely simple. That’s why we went back to
basics for our best toys of 2022. We eschewed screens, movie tie-ins, and other
technical and social complexities in favor of toys that invite communication,
interaction, imagination, and movement.

Imitate your child’s play activities. For example, if your child starts drawing
a ship, you might say, “That looks cool. I’ll draw a ship too!”

Repeat, with more detail, what your child says without turning it into a
question. So, if your child says, “There’s the tree,” you could say, “Yes, there
is a tall tree with green leaves.”

Child-directed play requires only 10-15 minutes and is an excellent way to
connect. Here are a few more tips to remember.
