The Stella Starlight Collection
Stella Starlight toys is a growing collection of carefully selected and designed toys that support a growing demand for toys that are made of durable and natural materials in a sustainable manner, are safe and fun to play with, and support key child development areas such as social and emotional awareness, critical thinking and reasoning, and hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.
In this way, Stella Starlight toys are aligned with alternative pedagogical theories such as Montessori, etc. Stella Starlight toys are each unique, beautiful in construction, rich in colour, and have all elements for lasting play and fun.
Open-Ended Play
Stella Starlight toys embrace the philosophy of open-ended play. This is a type of play without any fixed set of rules, limitations or outcomes and includes playing dress-up, construction with blocks, pretend kitchen and food, and anything fuelling imagination and creativity.
Open-ended toys do not require children to conform to any particular outcome and pressure to complete something, allowing safe exploration of objects, their context and narrative and help them form opinions, build confidence and increase understanding of their world.
Key benefits associated with open-ended play include:
- Stimulating imagination and creativity
- Promoting cognitive flexibility and social awareness
- Strengthening hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills and vocabulary
- Encourages critical thinking, reasoning and self-regulation
- Developing independence and building leadership skills
Long-Lasting Toys
Stella Starlight toys are made from natural materials and constructed for increased robustness to last through childhood and beyond, contributing to a durability and sustainability mindset.
