How many times has it happened to you that you have gone to buy a toy for a birthday or for your child and you ended up losing yourself among so much variety? And it is that, in the current market, the variety of toys is so great and varied that it is very difficult to decide on one or the other. Therefore, today we are going to give a few tips and suggestions for choosing and buying a toy.

Most important of all, keep the child in mind. It may seem silly, but on many occasions we forget that the toy is for our child and not for us. Therefore, the toy that we choose must be desired by the child.

We must also make sure that it is made of materials (larger the smaller the child is) that do not splinter or, if they break, that they can cut. Also, the color should not be toxic.

When buying them, we must think about the purpose and attitudes they develop in our children; that is, they must be appropriate for the child’s age. For example, in the case of buying a toy for a baby between zero and six months, we will take into account that it is when the child begins to discover his body and to distinguish different textures, shapes and colors. In this case, rattles, crib mobiles, rubber dolls, reborn baby dolls, rugs with activities, among many others, can be a very good option.

In the second half of the first year of life, our baby begins to explore objects and recognize different voices; we will take advantage of encounters to look for ball type toys, rag doll, sound toys, seesaws, walkers …

Between thirteen and eighteen months, the boys and girls are peeling themselves and recognize some properties of objects. Nesting and stacking cubes, adapted bikes with wheels and strollers are a very good option.
