Features: This book is one of the "Shanghai Early Childhood Education Series for the New Century." As a fundamental right of children, play should not be merely understood as the right to entertainment and leisure, but rather as a right to development for young children. Toys, as an essential component of play, serve as both the material support for play and an influence on its content and nature. Play is a vital form of comprehensive development education for young children. The papers selected in this book explore the organic integration of the form and function of play, discussing curriculum systems that adopt models of play-based learning and play-oriented learning, as well as strategy systems that emphasize interpersonal relationships, improve the atmosphere, and utilize toys. Additionally, the book includes a research review on play and toys for reference by educators. This book primarily reflects the hard work of early childhood educators in Jing'an District and across Shanghai, aiming to provide a holistic understanding of the role and significance of play in the modernization of early childhood education.
