Your child can simply play with this toy without first having to figure out how it works. There is no right or wrong way to play, and there are no rules your child needs to follow. The goal is simply playing and being in the present moment. We at Toy Academy call this type of play intuitive play. It's also called "open ended play". We recommend that you take the opportunity to watch how things unfold when your child plays using their intuition.

Unlike types of play which are about achieving a result or playing within specific boundaries, intuitive play will often give you interesting insight into your child’s independent problem-solving skills, imagination, and thought process.

Practising how to categorise objects strengthens your child’s ability to sort through the streams of impressions they experience daily. Categorizing is simply a way of learning and comprehending new words, experiences, and concepts. Before we can understand what something is and what it means, we first need to grasp how it differs from something else.

Many everyday situations require us to sort and create an overview – for example, we use that skill when we make separate piles of laundry, learn equations, or sort our garbage.
