Dow Jones Description
The Toy Industry Foundation is an innovative organization that provides disadvantaged and at-risk infants and children opportunities to meet a vital, yet frequently overlooked, developmental need often missing in their lives -- play. Research has shown that play is an essential part of a child's healthy development. For the youngest children, play contributes significantly to the development of fine and gross motor skills and hand-eye coordination, and helps them learn about their physical world. In older children and youth, play develops observation, listening and language skills; problem solving, critical thinking and logical reasoning; communication and teamwork; and self-awareness and the ability to relate to others.
