The media often covers the many differences between the U.S. and Europe, but an important difference that is often overlooked, is in toys. When I was born and raised in Europe, but have lived in the U.S. Most of my adult life, I can at the same place in different philosophies toys go WHERE testify. In Europe, I grew up with and around a variety of games well-made and natural, often simple in nature, which are either wooden or soft material. European toys are not only of natural materials, but also natural surfaces you can trust the younger children. They are produced in ways that imagination, creativity and promote the development of motor skills, as important as any age group. As an adult I came to the United States to study, but soon I met my husband to-be and started a life together. The adjustment was very smooth, until I was pregnant with our first child. Like any pregnant woman, I started early gimmick for our unborn child and to my surprise that toys in stores Were here is very different from the toys I found growing. They were mainly plastic, and often flashing lights and music to touch anything but encouraging, ideas and creativity. I was discouraged, but decided for some of these popular plastic toys. When my son was a few months ago we made a trip to Europe to visit relatives and friends. While there I noticed that the children of my friends’ toys that are very different from the toys we had in the U.S., was, like toys and more that I have experienced growing up. He made me realize that times change, or not in Europe, as I had convinced myself previously had to be, and that the toys I grew up with Same were still in high demand. It ‘was clear to me that the mass production of plastic products and toys to completion in the cheapest way some U.S. companies that were selected managed the American market because of their profitability and distribution of power regulation. Once home from the trip my friends and I related the natural toys, children Brought joy, I remembered that they do not realize that safe and stimulating opportunities. Several of them Were increasingly on the safety of plastic toys after hearing and reading Numerous reports on the toxicity and safety by concerns about lead contamination., I took a moment to me that not only do not want my own child to that reopening of toys, but i also wanted to make sure others had concerns with the Same Their ability to provide children with safe toys as well. I threw my son, old toys and replaced them with safe and pleasant Their partners from different European countries. I decided that a smaller but better selection would be a natural, creative toy for the price difference, especially since passed on to subsequent children and grandchildren. releasing in the process of plastic toys for the natural, I also noticed that my son favors the European game. They are not only natural and safe, but are much more challenging as well. My hope is that the simple nature of European toys that has brought great joy, my son, encouraging his mind and body, the desire of many American children are offered in the coming years.
