Childhood Hobbies and Development
When I was a child, I used to play in the evenings with dolls. For me, it was thrilling to make up and dress them. But I preferred doing puzzles because when I solved them, I felt that I was developing my intelligence. Every day I tried to solve one, and I did it until I could finish it. These were my two favorite toys or objects for playing in childhood. In one activity, I used my imagination to have a good time; in the other, I used my intelligence.
