Do You Make These Mistake When Buying Toys?

The toys that your child plays with have the potential to shape their very future.
h
That is because play is how children learn, grow and make sense of the world around them.
h
Therefore walking into a toy store or browsing an online marketplace can become a very heavy burdon.
h
How can you possibly choose the right one?
h
How can you tell which one is good quality?
h
How can you know which one will be played with for years?
h

To help you out I have complied the top 5 mistakes people make when buying toys.

h1. Buying toys that are not safe.

In 2022 there were 209,500 toy related injuries.
h
Therefore, safety should be your number one concern.
h
So its number one on my list.
h
You should be especially carefully when buying toys online.
h
Always make sure the product has the correct certification for sale in your country. 
h
Always make sure you are reading the reviews.
h
Always make sure the company is a good one.
h
One bad toy can cause a lifetime of pain.
h

2. Not age appropriate

Every time your child is playing with a certain toy, do they need your help? 
h
If then answer is yes.
h
Then you have make this mistake. 
h
In future save yourself the headache.
h
Look for toys that will grow with your child. Not toys they will grow into.
h
Look for toys that can be fun for different ages.
For your 3 year-old, it can be a stacking toy.
h
For your 8-year-old, it can be a tower they need to defend.
 

3. Not what your Child is interested in

Ever bought a toy and you only get one day of play?
h
Yeah me too.
I have made this mistake plenty of times. 
h
Did you know your child can start making their own buying decision at age 8.
h
And the toy your child picks is a form of self-expression.
h
Celebrating their choice shows that their individuality is valued and celebrated.
h
Toys, they are interested in will also get you a whole heap of benefits like engagement, deeper learning, focus and much needed quite time.

4. Variety in play

Not all toys are created equal.
h
Some toys are just toys, while other are much much more.
h
Some toys have one specific way to play.
These are called closed ended toys.
j
Whereas other toys are brain building, fun having, powerhouse toys.
These are called open ended toys.
j
Open ended toys are the gold standard.
h
They have an untold host of benefits, but I will keep it short:
h

Open ended toys give your child the highest quality play possible.

 

5.Toys that don't interest you

While play should be focused on your child
h
Playing with your child can nature relationships, improve social skills and build language and listening skills, 
h
And, while technically adults can play with any toy.
h
There are some that are just plain boring.
h
So why waste this precious time playing with toys that are not going to give you some enjoyment and maximize the benefits for your child.
 
 I hope now the next time that you go to buy toys you avoid making these mistakes therefore making the best choice for your child. 
 
And the current best choice for your child is:
