Many parents have shared the common experience of buying an expensive toy only to find that the box it came in provided more play time fun. Taking the mystery out of purchasing toys may be as simple as thinking back to the magic moments of your own childhood. Toy stores are packed with high-tech toys, but they re also brimming with the old favorites.
Children still enjoy building with blocks and problem-solving with puzzles.
They like dump trucks and shiny red wagons. Toys that require a little clean-up like playdough and paints provide a tactile experience well worth the mess. Books can be a child s best friend with words that tickle the tongue and monsters that aren t so bad after all. Foster your child s independence with a bicycle or encourage team spirit with a soccer ball. Enchanting childhood memories are only a moment away with puppets, dress-up clothes, and baby dolls.
