How to choose the right toy for kids

There are different factors to consider before choosing the right toy for your kid. You must consider their age, gender, likes, personality, and development stage. These are important in deciding what toys will spark the right response in your kid. For instance, a kid between 1 to 2 years old will respond better to a cause-and-effect toy as their actions prompting a reaction will excite them and further increase their curiosity about life. Examples are shape sorters, stacking rings, and rubber ducks. The best toys for kids between 2 to 3 would be toys that help build their motor skills, like puzzles or block-building toys.
