Buying Guide
The best toys match a child’s developmental abilities and skills, all while encouraging new ones. It is also a good idea to choose toys that encourage motor skills, critical thinking and academic capabilities. From classic toys to clever new building sets, there is a lot on the market when it comes to playthings aimed at little boys.
Although there are government regulations and safety standards in place, there are still some unsafe toys on the market. Read the packaging before buying, and check the intended age range, too. With this in mind, look for toys that are educational and fun. Kids benefit most from playthings that teach them things.
What to Look For
- Toys are marked with age ranges that tell parents which kids they are appropriate for. These are important to pay attention to, not only because of potential safety issues, but also because they may be too advanced for some ages or not advanced enough for others. The last thing you want is a shiny new toy your child gets bored with in a couple of days because it wasn’t meant for their age range.
- If you’re buying toys for a child with special needs, ask your child’s doctor about appropriate toys and potentially lean more toward functional, sensory-heavy toys for young kids, rather than ones that are made for symbolic play.
- Many toys require batteries, so keep that in mind when you’re selecting a new toy.
More to Explore
Today’s kids are lucky when it comes to their toy options. Before the 20th century, there was nowhere close to the number of toys on the market that there are today. If you go back centuries, you’ll find kids’ playthings that aren’t really all that different from what today’s youngsters play with.
Ancient Roman children had hoops and wooden or clay dolls, while Egyptian children had wooden animals, knucklebones (thrown like dice) and toy soldiers. Meanwhile, Ancient Greek children had fun playing ball with inflated pig’s bladders. While this was similar to a balloon or ball, it doesn’t sound like the most pleasant thing for a child to bat around the house!
