toys and stuff :

that play and work

very well together

For the child, the playworker, the parent, the teacher, and the students of play and playwork.

Exploring the play (and play value) synergies of toys and games and other items.

(Also See play at the gates for a synergetic use of a stairgate and plastic ball pit balls (other balls can be used similarly) )

plastic ball pit balls also work very well with Thomas and some of the other engines staying on the track while the trains push them along.

An initial synergy is on show in that these toys can be easily used or be played with out of their advertised basic and primary play contexts.

Thus an outcome of this for the playing child is an opportunity for wider exploration and understanding of the toy (or other item) and it's intrinsic capacities.

The combined toys/items usage should also help to enable or encourage greater and deeper imaginative and creative play by the playing child.

Toys and other safe miscellaneous items that work well together for play.

(Below 1 to 3) Thomas the Tank Engine (and Edward the Steady) working well with Little people Wheelies cars and Tonka cars on the Thomas the tank Engine starter track.

(4) Babies play rings cone and paddling pool great for playing a floating quoits game.

(5 to 8) Thomas the Tank Engine pulls and pushes a WowToys dumper truck.

(9) Thomas pushing 3 balls around a track.

(10 -13) Toddler investigates paddling pool play tunnel tent and hose set up. Also making use of different sized balls and a plastic car; as a note ball pit balls particularly work faster than other types especially where the water flow is slow and or shallow.

These pictures surely prove that Thomas and Edward are very useful and strong engines ;) And that complex and interesting play and learning can be easily introduced and facilitated for children.
