Turn Off the Screens: How Invento Toys Bring Families Back to Nature!

I’m Helena Forlland, a psychologist specializing in child development and family dynamics. My recent research reveals how Invento’s products—stunt kites, wind spinners, and Invento models—foster a deep connection with nature, especially for kids often absorbed by screens. Below, I’ll share insights into how these toys encourage mindful play and strengthen family bonds.  A Natural Alternative to Gadgets

With digital technology now essential, screen time often replaces vital outdoor play. During the study, families using Invento’s products reported higher satisfaction with outdoor activities. Flying stunt kites required coordination and attentiveness to the environment, fostering physical and cognitive development in children. These activities not only encourage kids to put down gadgets but also engage with natural forces like wind and space, enhancing spatial awareness and understanding of the world around them.

Effects on Physical and Emotional Growth

Invento toys are powerful tools for both physical and emotional growth. Our research showed that children engaged with kites and wind spinners developed stronger arm and shoulder muscles, improved coordination, and increased endurance. More importantly, children gained emotional enrichment: learning to control a kite builds confidence, as kids tackle initial challenges and gradually master control. Parents noted a significant increase in their children’s self-assurance as they overcame challenges and celebrated their progress.  Bonding Through Shared Play

The study found that Invento products foster quality family interaction. Parents and children enthusiastically launched kites together, strategizing and learning side by side. Metal Earth models, requiring assembly, became a perfect family project, encouraging cooperation and patience. Families reported greater closeness, and even parents typically less involved in play found joy in these shared activities, creating cherished memories for their children.

Fostering Environmental Awareness

Invento toys teach children the importance of nature appreciation. Wind spinners, for example, rely on wind flow, helping kids observe and understand natural phenomena. My research showed how these activities nurture young environmental awareness. Over time, parents noted that their children became more curious about the natural world, even expressing a desire to learn more about it. This fosters respect for nature and an understanding of its role in our lives. Simple Joy and a Break from Technology

Invento products offer an enjoyable break from excessive screen time, encouraging children to enjoy simple, fulfilling outdoor play. Many children participating in the study began actively seeking opportunities for outdoor activities, even on weekends, much to their parents' delight. Observing these young participants, I noticed how basic elements—wind, kites, a sunny day—could bring true joy, demonstrating that outdoor play provides deeper, longer-lasting happiness than short-term digital distractions.

My Recommendation For Concerned Parents

Based on this research, I found that Invento products do more than entertain children and parents; they open the door to mindful outdoor play. These toys are not merely for amusement but serve as tools to strengthen family bonds, develop physical and cognitive skills, and nurture children’s environmental awareness. I recommend adding these toys to the family activity arsenal. As a wonderful screen-free alternative, they allow families to experience new joys and form connections with nature.

These delightful toys from Invento are available to order on the AlpsDiscovery website with regional delivery, making it easy to access essential items for active, mindful outdoor recreation.
