Be Selective
When Buying Toys
One problem involved when
buying Christmas toys is that most
parents want their children to have
everything they had as children. If
a parent missed out on something
as a child, he or she want their
children to have it. In today’s
world, this means multiplying toy
after toy.
At Christmas time, children
tend to receive too much at one
time, according to Dr. James E.

Children do not need a great
many toys. In fact, they usually
play with only a few favorites.
This makes it especially important
to select toys that provide oppor

other children’s toys, what does he
select?
One prerequisite of a good toy
is that the child for whom it is cho

serve as a general guide in choos

child’s ability and interest. Many

toy has, the more interesting it will
be. Toys that can be used in more
than one way stimulate the child to
be creative and to use his
imagination.
