Kaskey Kids review

review


Kaskey Kids is a really great store for sports loving kids. In 2002 Christy Kaskey wanted to develop toys for her sports loving children and to bring back the older type of toys her brothers used to play with. Those toys being cowboys and indians and army men. Together Kaskey toys came together and developed  fun and imaginary play.
Kids have been playing with action figures for years. Sports have been a part of children's lives forever. Kaskey Kids combine both of these interests to inspire countless hours of creative entertainment that your kids will absolutely love.
My grandaughter loves gymnastics and she takes classes to perfect this awesome sport.
I reviewed one of the GoGo Girl  Sport dolls.  Maya is a darling gymnastic doll.  Maya is aapproximately 14" in height, and made from high quality cloth which is safe and durable. She is soft, comfortable and light to carry, easy for a child to take with her to play or sleep.
There are  eleven dolls and each has an inspiring message embroidered on their tummy and comes with a backpack and appropriate equipment. Maya's message says,""Dream Big Score Goals".
Maya loves to tumble! Her favorite move is a back handspring. She likes the balance beam, too. Before practice or a meet, Maya always stretches, listens to music, drinks water and eats a healthy snack, like blueberries. When she’s not at the gym, Maya likes dancing and playing violin.

Do you wish your children played more toys using their imagination then just sitting in front of the TV or computer? Studies have shown that imaginary play helps children grow up to be more social and smarter.

Imagination is the ability to form a mental image of something that is not there. Starting around age two, children can understand the symbolic nature of one thing standing for another, such as a box for a boat and a towel for a sail. The abilities to think symbolically and abstractly are the basic building blocks of creativity and intelligence. Albert Einstein even said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge,” and he’s no slouch in either department!

Creative play also helps children develop their social and emotional abilities. Kids will try on adult roles and test out ways of acting and being. In this way, they can develop their ‘what-if’ abilities, which is one way to strengthen their understanding of consequences. Children solidify their learning by not just taking things in passively, such as with screen time, but by mimicking and recreating what they have seen. They can also express themselves emotionally under the guise of being a character and children who playact are known to develop their ability to empathize. Creative play has also been linked to increased cooperation, problem-solving skills, leadership skills and behavioral control, such as using words to express oneself and waiting one’s turn.
