Two-year-olds prefer social and cooperative play with toys that are more true-to-life and generally of better quality.
Preschool youngsters age three to five exhibit good physical coordination; therefore gym equipment, large balls, kites, double-bladed ice si. «s, and now sleds match their abilities and interests. It’s in this
timeframe that musical instruments first have appeal, and crayons and craft materials allow them to exercise their creativity on easels and the like.
The booklets offer specific product suggestions in each age category for active play (push/pull toys, rideon toys, etc.), manipulative play (construction toys, puzzles and pattern-making toys, etc.), creative play (musical instruments, etc.), and learning play (books, games).
Parents should consider the following safety practices:
• Look for and read age and safety labels on toys.
• Explain and show the child how to use toys safely.
• Check toys periodically for breakage and hazards, removing damaged toys from children.
• Store toys safely and teach children to put toys away.
• Older children should be instructed to keep their toys out of reach of younger children since these toys may have small parts which could be a choking hazard to them.
