in the long run to purchase
quality.
Look for flexibility. Toys th at
can be used in many ways enhance
learning. N inety percent of play
should cbme from th e child.
Ten percent should com e frm
the toy. A good toy is child-
operated, not battery-operated.
Allow for maturation. A last

the child. As a rule Of th u m b a
to y should span at least one
year in the child’s developm ent.
Watch the age. Som e toys
and games are m ore suitable to
one age group than another.
Playthings should be challeng

superior toy will pique a child’s
curiosity and reward with success.
