“If only someone would put together a list of appropriate toys, games and gifts for Christmas shopping for children!”
Comments like this have echoed among parents and grandparents every holiday season, but fewTer consumers will be complaining about the lack of a shopping list this Christmas. The reason: two comprehensive shopping lists compiled by toy safety experts at the Consumer Product Safety Commission to make it easier for you to choose the right gift for a young child, be it for Christmas, birthdays or any occasion.
The booklets are “Which Toy for Which Child: Birth Through Five” and “Which Toy for Which Child: Ages Six Through Twelve.” With these booklets in hand, Christmas shopping should be easier for you this year.
When you shopped for children before, how did you decide what to buy? Did you choose on the basis of price or was your final decision based on the skills and interests of the child receiving the gift?
Reflecting parental concern for the safety and welfare of young children, these booklets take into account the physical, mental and social abilities, and interests that are particularly relevant to selecting appropriate toys and playthings.
For example, year-old toddlers prefer “action toys” that move or make sounds, toys requiring some action by the toddler, also toys that can be assembled and easily taken apart. Year-old children are best entertained by puppets operated by an adult, but 18-month-old toddlers will benefit from small hand puppets sized to fit their tiny hand. Games and toys that develop motor skills aren’t suited to this age group.
