Play value Toys are assessed by how engaging they are, whether they encourage involvement, and the level of fun they create. Most water and pool toys have a high play value based on multiple ways of using the pool toys and pool floats, how the pool toys and pool floats develop skills, whether children are encouraged to take charge of their activity, and the pool toy/float's appeal to more than one stage of development.
