Also, they allow children with motor disabilities to directly participate in activities due to the simple control of the switch. You can use these toys independently to develop social and cognitive skills and learn everyday skills (a teddy bear brushing your teeth), but you can also include them as part of more complex developmental activities, that is, as a means of additional motivation.
