Educational Toys
Toys for this age group should help prepare kids to enter a structured learning environment as they prepare for kindergarten. It's the perfect time to consider educational toys, such as electronic learning games; VTech and Leap Frog are two major companies to think about. |
Dress Up and Pretend Play
Children love to play make belive and to dress up in costumes. Imitating adults is a natural pastime for preschoolers. Kids will get the opportunity to be just like an adult with miniature versions of household items like vacuum cleaners, telephones, and pots and pans. More elaborate toys can recreate an entire home or business. |
By age 3, most children are ready for outdoor activities. Some ideas for outdoor toys include: kites, pools, bikes, and skates.  |
Arts and Crafts
Arts and Crafts are wonderful rainy day activities. These playthings can introduce art, music, dance, and imagination to a child at an early age. Play Doh and crayons are basics. |
