The answer lies in a surprising principle: <strong>fewer toys is often better<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>In this article, you will discover why a minimalist approach to toys benefits your child's concentration, creativity and peace of mind.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:separator -->\n<h2 id=\"h-wat-is-minimalistisch-spel\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is minimalist play?<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Minimalist play does not mean that a child has nothing left to play with.
