The child should be able to stand or sit on them. Make sure they are still safe. Keep toys for older children away from younger children. They should not come apart. There should be no little pieces.
Children can stick little pieces in their ears, nose, and mouth.
Children like to see hear, touch, taste, and smell things. Good toys and good play help them do these things. Most infants like rattles, colorful mobiles, squeak toys, and furry stuffed animals. Those toys are fun to look at, touch, and listen to. Older children may like playing with sand, water, playdough, sound cans, or kitchen pan and spoon.
