If we were the toymakers, our products would no doubt reflect our love for children, our love for God, and our desire for holiness and purity. Unfortunately, the shelves of most toy stores are filled with toys made by those who are definitely of another mindset entirely. I would answer yes . Children seem to need to play almost as much as they need food, shelter, and love. Toys are the necessary props.
Children learn through play.
Just as we guide and direct our children's formal education, we should do the same for their play. While we may give our children lots of freedom and leeway in their play, out of a desire to encourage creativity, we will probably want to offer guidelines and restrictions. All playacting is not harmless fun. Just as we discourage potentially dangerous rough-housing, we will probably restrict playacting anything that is sinful, offensive, or even obnoxious. Since I believe that play is so important, I need to be discerning in the selection of toys for our children.
