From last couple of years, there is a storm in the toddler's market because of the large array of toys that are being manufactured on a huge scale. The biggest question that arises is that which toys are right for your child? How to say that the toy you are buying are of high quality and will last long?

Here are some ideas for every parent or to be parent on how to choose toys from best Toy Shops in Singapore that will hold your kids interest, will challenge their skills, and will support their overall development (social, physical, emotional, mental):

• Choose toys that have various uses: Kids love to break, assemble, detach, attach, and do make over of their toys. Choose toys in such a manner that they are open-ended so that your kid can play a lot of different games with a single toy.

For example: toys like wooden blocks, or say soft plastic interlocking blocks that can be used to create new structures out of one, like a road, a zoo, an animal, a bridge, or a train or any other automobile. Such toys tickle your child’s imagination and improve his problem solving and logical thinking skills.

• A toy for all stages: While buying a toy for your kid you must keep this thing in mind that kids have the tendency to get bore with their toys, say a week or few days and will never touch them again. To avoid this trouble while looking for toys you must mind this fact and go for the toys that can be fun and attractive at different developmental stages of your kid.

For example small plastic animals or stuff toys that a toddler plays with in his younger years can still be used by him when old enough to craft a story out of his imaginations.

• Encouraging and problem solving toys: Playtime is the best time for kids to learn and practice new skills. Choose toys for your kids that give them a chance to figure out things on their own or with a little help from elders which improves their logical thinking and help them become eminent problem solvers. They help kids to learn how to fix things together thus enabling them to build spatial relation skills, hand-eye coordination, etc.

• Toys that involve different generations: Old aged people like the grandparents of the children love to play with them, therefore, some of the toys nowadays are designed for the adult participation. Engage your child in games that involve more than one player to participate in it, once he is 3 or above 3, this in turn will make him more fun loving and will keep him healthy and happy.
