What to consider when choosing baby toys

• A toddler is a young being with an eagerness to
  learn what his or her surrounding world is made
  of as well as how it works. At this tender age
  formal education cant be implemented as they are
  yet to fully grasp their senses.

• Since a child uses their senses to learn, it is
  important for them to have toys that aid in the
  harnessing of their skills in the use of these
  senses. The type of toys they are exposed to have
  a direct impact on the level of awareness they
  will have on their senses at an early age. Hence
  it is important to know what you should consider
  when choosing a toy for your child.

• One thing to consider should be the age of the
  child. Different kinds of toys apply for
  different age groups and this is an important
  factor to remember. Many people tend to buy toys
  for their children because they are trending
  without considering whether the toy is
  appropriate for their childs age.

• For toddlers who are getting to know their
  surroundings toys that they can taste, smell,
  squeeze and hear are the best. For much older
  kids you can buy them more advanced toys such as
  toy cars.

• The next consideration to make is the kind of
  interests your child has. For instance, toddlers
  are very attracted to color. This means that the
  child should have multi colored toys. Good
  examples of toys for such are building blocks and
  interlocking blocks, cup and so much more.

• This is also beneficial because toddlers have a
  tendency to want to break apart everything they
  come across. For much older kids you may opt to
  get crayons and paper to draw on.

• The kinds of toys you buy should also spark an
  interest in learning for the child. This is meant
  to bring out their creative skills as they grasp
  more knowledge. Such toys will also enable them
  to exercise their problem solving skills as well
  as give them the motivation to explore more of
  their world.

12

• Such toys are beneficial because they provide the
  child with a chance to develop hand-eye
  coordination as well as an understanding of how
  things fit together. Examples of such toys are
  puzzles, play dough and interlocking blocks.

• You should also consider buying toys that can
  grow together with the child as opposed to buying
  toys that are for only a given period of time.
  This is advantageous because the toy will be used
  for a long time as opposed to being used in one
  developmental stage.

15

• Good examples of such toys are action figure for
  boys and dolls for girls. These toys can be used
  in doll houses by toddlers and as they grow older
  they can be used as characters for telling a
  story.

• As the baby grows older, they will gain more
  confidence in the physical abilities of their
  bodies and hence, at this point it should be
  considerable to buy toys that will motive more
  physical abilities. This entails to toys that
  will assist in the enhancement of learned
  physical skills as well as an opportunity to
  learn new ones.
