If most of us recall our childhood, the toys we remember most fondly were probably not the ones with the most bells and whistles. Another thing to keep in mind when shopping for toys is whether or not the toy is appropriate for your child. Read the age recommendations on the packaging. Also be aware if adult supervision is needed with a toy. If you're stumped for toy ideas, try shopping in a bookstore.
Books are safe, fun for any age, educational, and they encourage the imagination.
If you read to your child, you're giving a gift that will last for a lifetime. Other Topics Health Watch is intended to provide general information only and should not replace the advice of a medical professional. You should contact your physician if you have questions about any of these topics.
