Toys and games are crucial in childhood and are passed down from parents to children, preserving traditions. When parents and children play together, they create happy memories and strengthen bonds of love and friendship. This makes us feel loved and secure. Toys help children learn and have fun at the same time, developing their brains, bodies, and social skills. Playing with friends and family strengthens bonds of love and creates happy memories. Moreover, playing stimulates creativity, teaches new things, and helps relax. Playing every day is essential for growing up happy and healthy.

ACTIVITY PROPOSAL
SWING
When we play on the swing with friends, the fun multiplies! It’s a time to laugh, talk, and share laughs as we soar through the air. Parents and grandparents love to push children on the swing, creating special moments and happy memories that strengthen family bonds. Playing on the swing with friends further strengthens bonds of friendship because it’s an activity everyone can enjoy together. We can compete to see who can go higher or who can reach the clouds. These moments of swinging will be cherished for a long time.
