Shop by age

Parents shop by the stage their child is at, not by the kind of toy. Pick a stage and you will only see what fits it.

3-6

Preschool, pretend play, building, drawing

This is where a toy becomes a shop, a hospital or a bus.

Open ended things get played with longest here, because the child supplies the story. Alongside that come first real puzzles and anything that leaves a mark on paper.

What to look for at this stage

  • Open ended, so it can be something different tomorrow
  • A first real puzzle, not a baby one
  • Something that leaves a mark on paper
