Choosing age appropriate toys
Auckland Playcentre Shop AdvertorialWhen choosing toys and activities adults need to consider the age and developmental stage of their child. A toy that is not age appropriate can lead to frustration or boredom for the child and can also be a potential safety hazard. Adults need to be aware that children sometimes ask for toys that they are simply not old enough to play with safely. The age-appropriate level for a toy, as indicated on the packaging, is determined by safety factors. Whenever buying a new toy, always read labels to make sure the toy is appropriate for your child's age. Children's play habits and needs change as they mature. The following tips will help you as you choose toys for the children in your life. When selecting a toy, check for good construction, and make sure there are no parts that can break off or be pulled off.
Also, be aware that age recommendations are only guidelines. Don't assume that the child you are buying for has the same abilities and understanding as every other child that age. Children who are born prematurely may be a few months behind average child development until about age nine. Additionally, if a child is close to the lower age limit for a toy, be sure to supervise his or her initial use of the toy to be sure he uses it safely.
