Choosing the right toys for your child is more than a matter of preference—it’s about safety, development, and enjoyment. Here’s a guide to help you make the best choice.
Understanding Safety Standards
When shopping for toys, look for certifications such as ASTM, EN71, or CE, which ensure that toys meet safety standards. Avoid toys with small parts or sharp edges for young children, as these can pose choking or injury hazards.
Choosing by Age Group
Toys are designed with specific age groups in mind to match their developmental abilities and needs. Here’s a quick guide:
- 0-2 Years: Look for sensory toys, soft plushies, and colorful items that stimulate their senses.
- 3-5 Years: Simple puzzles, pretend-play sets, and building blocks encourage imagination and coordination.
- 6-8 Years: Opt for STEM toys, crafts, and games that challenge them while fostering problem-solving.
- 9+ Years: Board games, construction sets, and science kits allow them to dive deeper into specific interests.
Material Matters
Choosing toys made from non-toxic materials is crucial. Look for toys made from BPA-free plastics, natural wood, or organic fabrics, especially for infants and toddlers. At D2c Collection, all of our toys are made from safe materials, ensuring quality and safety for every age.
With D2c Collection, finding the right toy is easy. Each product is chosen to meet safety standards, match developmental needs, and bring joy to children.
