The items I loved playing with when I was a kid are shown below! I loved playing with them when I was growing up.
While growing up my parents that it was necessary to play to develop social skills. I'm a Army brat so meeting new people every 3-4 years was stressful as a child. Play lets you be yourself and be free so that you don't even think about being the new person. I don't think play has changed much since I was a child, it stills provides the same social skills, and learning skills as before.
Play has helped me develop great social skills, I'm very friendly and love social gatherings with others. I believe if I didn't participate in play I would be less social and not really a party person.
I love how one of the quotes you found talks about how play is a necessity. Play allows children to learn and develop new skills. Play help children learn social skills such as interacting with new classmates and meeting new friends; cognitive skills with manipulating objects such as puzzles and books; and physical development by participating in outdoor activities.
