Toys are not just a whim. They also contribute to the development and awakening of children’s motor skills. But you can do without toys and offer other items, as you wish. Discover in this article the selection criteria to help you surprise your darling for sure!
The elements to be considered!
Before buying a gift for a child, you should consider the following points:
– Age: on toy packaging, manufacturers indicate the minimum age or age range. It is very important to follow these instructions as a safety measure, but also to choose a toy that is in line with the child’s stage of development (according to his or her sensory-motor abilities)
– Gender: a gift for a girl will not be the same as for a boy!
– Taste: to get a gift idea, refer to his interests. For lovers of 2 or 4 wheels for example, you can turn to sports cars, drones…. For girls who love Barbie, think of her favourite doll….
– Solidity: Are you looking for a toy that is made to last or will break after a few hours?
