The word "Kumāra" itself means the one that plays.
Kaumarayati Kridati ||

The one who plays, loves/enjoys playing is Kumāra.
Play shouldn't be a break from learning, it should be the way a child learns.
Toys should be an exploration of life experiences for expressing emotions. ImageImage
How should the toys ideally be?

1. Vicitrāṇi - In various sizes, colours & shapes to stimulate the child's imagination & to attract him so it encourages him to play often.

2. Abhirāmāṇi - Should be attractive, pleasant to the eyes of the child. ImageImage
