Although there are many types of toys, not all of them are suitable for children, especially for children under four years old.

Today we would like to share types of toys that are suitable for children’s age, so that you; as parents could not save your money, but also can promote children’s skills and brain development as well.

Here are some types of toys that are generally suitable for children under four years old:

1. Stacking and Nesting Toys – These toys help develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Examples include stacking cups, nesting blocks, and ring stackers.
2. Shape Sorters – These toys encourage shape recognition and problem-solving. They usually have different-shaped blocks that fit into corresponding holes.
3. Soft Toys – Soft and cuddly toys are comforting and can be great companions for young children. Look for stuffed animals, plush toys, or soft dolls.
4. Musical Instruments – Simple musical instruments like toy drums, xylophones, and maracas can introduce children to basic rhythm and sound exploration.
5. Building Blocks – Blocks help enhance spatial awareness, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Choose blocks that are large and easy to handle, such as wooden or foam blocks.
6. Puzzles – Age-appropriate puzzles with large pieces and simple designs can improve cognitive skills, hand-eye coordination, and problem-solving abilities.
7. Ride-On Toys – These toys promote gross motor skills and balance. Consider tricycles, balance bikes, or ride-on cars with safety features suitable for young children.
8. Sensory Toys – Toys that engage multiple senses can be beneficial. Look for toys with different textures, colors, sounds, and movements, such as sensory balls, textured balls, or activity cubes.
9. Pretend Play Sets – Encourage imaginative play with play kitchens, tool sets, doctor kits, or dollhouses. These toys promote social skills, language development, and creativity.
10. Books – Age-appropriate board books or picture books with simple illustrations and textures can foster a love for reading and language development.

Remember, it’s important to consider the child’s individual interests, abilities, and safety when selecting toys. Always supervise playtime and choose toys that are suitable for their age group.
