It happens to me that when I go to buy a gift for my children, I wonder if I will be buying the suitable toy. If he will like it, if he really paid the value for money, for how long will he play with it before being deposited in the trunk of memories.
My husband gets excited like a child and buys the toy he would like to have, and I have to persuade him not to buy it mainly because it is not age appropriate.
The most important factor to consider when buying a toy is the child's age. Toys should be consistent with the child's possibilities according to their evolutionary stage. If we give him a toy for an older child, it will surely bore him as complicated, and if it is for younger children he will leave it soon because it is simple. We must also take into account the personalityFor a very active child, it may be a game that helps him concentrate, if on the contrary it is characterized by being shy, a socialization game would contribute to the development of social skills.
A toy should always be fun and interactive. Must be versatile in order to develop creativity, imagination and socialization. We have to avoid those very sophisticated toys because they don't develop fantasy, or those “contemplatives” that become monotonous and the child tends to bore them soon.
The security It is also extremely important. The toy must always be safe and comply with the CE regulations guaranteed by the symbol on the toy label. You have to look at the material from which they are manufactured and the minimum recommended age. Toys for children under three must never be smaller than their mouths, compact that do not release parts. A toy that passes through a cylinder of toilet paper has an inappropriate size for a child of this age.
When choosing a toy we must rule out those that incite violence, discrimination based on gender, culture etc. Those that are few practical, difficult to use, and manipulate. Not necessarily the most expensive toy is the bestIn the market you will find a variety with good quality and fun solidarity prices. Giving away many toys at once is inadvisable, a Too much of them reduces fantasy and causes boredom, and the child learns not to value them.
