Kids love to play with the toys as they can imagine their toys to be real-life characters or things. When a kid is playing with a car, he actually believes that he is driving that car. When a little cute girl is setting up her dollhouse, she imagines that doll to be her little sister or her daughter for whom she is setting up that house.
That is the reason that kids love their toys. But you know what can make them happier? They would love to make their own toys rather than buying some ready-made toys from the market. Though some toys can not be made by the kids, but most of the toys they can make themselves.
