There's a saying: Buy what's right, not what's expensive. Most people think that the more expensive something is, the better it is.
There's a saying: Buy the right one, not the expensive one.
Most people think that the more expensive something is, the better it is.
While it's undeniable that slightly more expensive toys are generally of better quality than cheaper ones, it doesn't mean that all expensive toys are better.
When choosing toys for children, we should consider their age and personality.
I don't know how old your child is, but I can give you some general advice.
Several principles to follow when choosing toys:
1/ Choose toys appropriate for the child's age
For younger children, avoid beads, paints, crayons, and anything that could pose a safety hazard. For example, children aged 8 months to 1 year old are in a sensitive period for their hands and mouths. If parents buy small beads, paints, etc., the child may easily put them in their mouth. Small beads can be easily swallowed, while paints and crayons can be eaten or get into the eyes, which is very harmful to the child's health and safety.
2/ Ensure the toy's material and safety
Many children's toys are made of plastic, which comes in many types. I don't recommend buying toys from street vendors. It's not that low-priced toys are bad, but many street vendor toys are unpackaged, and some don't even have a manufacturer or date. Whether toys without certificates and manufacturers are qualified and suitable for children is a big question.
Especially for plastic toys, those without a manufacturer may be made from recycled waste plastic. Such plastics may have severely excessive lead content, posing a great health risk to children.
I've seen many hyperactive children who don't eat well and always eat their fingers or strange things. This is often caused by excessive lead content, and a large part of this is due to long-term contact with toys containing excessive lead.
3/ Don't buy uncreative, monotonous toys for children.
Many children like toys that light up, or those that move, sing, or dance when switched on.
However, I personally don't recommend parents buying these types of toys. These toys, which move, light up, or sing with the flick of a switch, are actually not conducive to children's brain development and growth.
Because playing with these toys requires no brainpower, it's easy for the child. They just need to turn on the switch and watch the toy "sing," "dance," "move forward," or "move backward." There's no need for the child to use their hands or brains. So why buy such toys? Just to keep the child entertained?

What should be considered when choosing toys for children?
Toys are important for children. They allow children to understand the world. Suitable toys are good toys; too many toys are not good, and too few toys are not good either. So how many toys are appropriate? Psychologists say that 5 toys are just right. Children have a range of choices, but they will not suffer from difficulty choosing, nor will their attention be diverted.
