what are the benefits of toys games and books relative to the psychosocial physical and cognitive development of early childhood children?

Basic blocks, balls, and cardboard boxes; these can become anything from a car to a castle.
Any old Tupper-ware cups, and tumblers, place them a in sandbox, and let their imagination go.
Play-doh, or shaving cream, add a table to spray this on, and let the little fingers do the talking.
Get a newspaper roll of paper, markers, and crayons; young Picasso's will emerge.
Go to a thrift store, and buy items to play dress up; hats, dresses, shirts, and such.
Believe me, it does not take a PhD, or a toy store.
