Buying toys for young children can be overwhelming. To help make the best choices, try to keep the following in mind.
1. Play Value: It must have a broad appeal to be worth the money. Will the child return to use it over and over?
2. Creativity: Can the child use it in several ways and will the toy foster awareness, appreciation, and involvement in the creative process?
3. Safety Requirements: Has the product been tested adequately and is it safe for the intended age?
4. Educational Value: What are the skills or concepts this toy teaches the child?
Toys should allow young children to use their imaginations and should be used in a variety of ways. Toys should not do everything for the children. Play materials should be sturdy and the best toys will teach a skill or be used in dramatic play.
