Toys play a very big role in the typical world of a child. But the great importance and impact the toys might have on our children are often underestimated. Of course it makes a difference if the toys teach our children some things or if they just entertain them being of no use in terms of education at the same moment.
All this is the field of research I am into, but in this article I will mainly focus on dolls as typical toy for our offsprings and all the extras like buggies (German: Puppenwagen) for them. The concept of a buggy was developed in Germany to some extend and Germany is one of the countries with the biggest percentage of youngsters having Puppenwagen. Thus in this article I try to summarize the German idea why your children should get a Puppenwagen.
Many children have dolls and most parents expect this or even like the idea of having grand children so early. They like to see that their offsprings care about something else. It might only be a puppet, but still teach them an important lesson: To take care. And this is also the reason why you should think about a puppet dolly (Puppenwagen). Even if you ask a professor for psychology at the university he will tell you not to underestimate the things you can learn from owning a dolly and treating a puppet a bit more like a real child.
A puppet buggy will give your children an idea how much effort it actually takes to look after a child and that it also requires many other things like a Puppenwagen for example. Of course in the end you will not have to buy anything possible in puppet size, but it might be good to give your offsprings at least an idea that there might be things you have to buy for your children. If they want to have more stuff for their puppets you might just answer: You are right. Actually a child would need that, but a puppet might be happier with a bit less utensils. But later on you will surely have to buy this for your real children.
More than 50 percent of the youngsters want to have more extra things for their dolls. This shows that they do not want something directly for themselves but for something they just look after. If one thinks about this idea it is a very important step in the development of a child. And this step should maybe be supported. There is maybe no need of buying a Puppenwagen but in general one must be aware of the fact that this developmental step of our offsprings is important and has to be supported in some way.
