A toy is an object that kids mostly use for play. Playing with toys helps kids acquire lifelong abilities that they will need in the future. Playing with toys is a standard pastime for kids with educational value because it teaches them many essential life skills, such as how to solve problems. Toys range from the most basic to the most intricate, from a child's chosen stick they assume to be a hobby to elaborate and sophisticated mechanical systems. The development of coordination and other manual abilities stems from children's cumulative experiences handling toys like marbles, jackstones, and other objects that must be dealt with both hands and bodies. Spatial relationship puzzles test mental agility starting in early childhood.
