Yes, the " Finest Christmas Toys " are out there for the taking, but how? You need to do a bit of homework to locate them. Here's how...
1) Remember that toy you used to love to play with, or longed to own? Well, as time has passed, it's very likely that this toy has lost it's popularity. In this internet age a whole new era of entertainment (and toys) has emerged. Yes, what you used to love may no longer interest a child of today.
2) Consider the Child's Gender - Some toys are fun to play with for either a boy or a girl. Some of these toys are: board games, puzzles, and arts and crafts. It's not very common for a boy to play with a pink dollhouse, right? Similarly, a lot of girls do not enjoy playing with army soldiers and tanks. We need to keep in mind that preferences do exist between the genders, and we need to take this into consideration as we are picking out toys.
3) What is the Child's Age? Age is one of the prime considerations when we are choosing that perfect toy. If the toy is too advanced for the child, they can lose interest or become injured. If the toy is too young for the child, they will consider it childish and boring. While manufacturers are constantly trying to improve their toys to ensure that they are safe for children, you do need to follow their age guidelines in order to comply. They can usually be found on the outside of the package. If you choose "age appropriate toys", you will be on the right track...
4) What Toys Do Your Child's Friends Play With? - Observe when you see your child playing with others. They may show a particular interest in the toys that their friends are playing with. If this is the case, you have a potential toy to buy for your child when the occasion presents itself.
5) Safety First - Safety is always the #1 consideration when choosing a toy. Make sure that the toy is made from a quality manufacturer. In addition, examine the toy itself if possible. If the child is young, you especially need to ensure that there are no parts that can come lose and pose a choking hazard.
6) Educational Toys - When a toy is educational as well as fun, it is a "double winner". The child will be picking up skills that will prepare them for the future. Who knows where the skills that they learn from this little toy will lead them in the future?
7) Direct Method - Sometimes a child will make the whole toy selection process easy by mentioning what toy he/she would like to receive. While this can save a whole lot of time and effort, it can also mean that the sense of "surprise" is gone. You can bring this sense of "surprise" back by asking "deflecting questions", like "wouldn't you rather have a 'FILL IN THE TOY'"?
These are just a few ideas to incorporate in locating the finest Christmas toys. If you would like to see our "TOP SELECTIONS" of toys, check out our blog.
