We hope these toys and games will prove popular and that these guidelines may help parents in their choice of toys. The toys are grouped into categories, and the pictures and descriptions will help parents or friends to choose the best suited to the needs of the child. The suggested age range is for fully sighted children. Every visually impaired child is unique, and parents or carers will best be able to judge which toys are most suitable for their child. As a guide, those toys marked with PS are particularly suitable for partially sighted children, and those toys marked with B are particularly suitable for blind children.
