In psychology and ethology, play is a range of voluntary, activities normally associated with recreational pleasure and enjoyment.

Play is commonly associated with children and juvenile-level activities, but play occurs at any life stage, and among other higher-functioning animals as well, most notably mammals.

Biologically, a child (plural: children) is a human being between the stages of birth and puberty.

The legal definition of child generally refers to a minor, otherwise known as a person younger than the age of majority.

Educational toys (sometimes called "instructive toys") are objects of play, generally designed for children, which are expected to stimulate learning.

They are often intended to meet an educational purpose such as helping a child develop a particular skill or teaching a child about a particular subject.

They often simplify, miniaturize, or model activities and objects used by adults.

Imagination, also called the faculty of imagining, is the creative ability to form images, ideas, and sensations in the mind without direct input from the senses, such as seeing or hearing.

Imagination helps make knowledge applicable in solving problems and is fundamental to integrating experience and the learning process.

A basic training for imagination is listening to storytelling (narrative), in which the exactness of the chosen words is the fundamental factor to "evoke worlds".

In the context of human society, a family (from) is a group of people affiliated either by consanguinity (by recognized birth), affinity (by marriage or other relationship), or co-residence (as implied by the etymology of the English word "family") or some combination of these.

Members of the immediate family may include spouses, parents, brothers, sisters, sons, and daughters.

Members of the extended family may include grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces, and siblings-in-law.

Sometimes these are also considered members of the immediate family, depending on an individual's specific relationship with them.
