Toys for Babies and Toddlers

Babies enjoy brightly coloured toys with which they can interact, such as activity gyms, mobiles, and activity centers. K’s Kids is a respected manufacturer of educational baby products such as pound-a-ball toys, cribmats, and school bus toys. As babies grow and start walking, push toys are a popular way to help them get around. Toddlers are also improving their manual dexterity and can interact with more complex toys like play kitchenware, toy musical instruments, and teeter-totters. Until a child is at least three years of age, be extra cautious in inspecting toys for any small parts which can pose a choking hazard. Browse our range of Baby Toys at Always on Sale.

Toys for Preschoolers

Preschool children are becoming more proficient at games and playing with others, so toys for two or more children make sense for this age group. Simple ball sports and board games are popular with preschoolers. Puzzles are great for encouraging small motor skills as well as decision-making capabilities; one of the top names in puzzles for children is Ravensberger, who have been making high-quality childrens products since 1883. Make-believe toys are another great choice for preschool-age children; dollhouses and construction equipment are perfect for developing imaginations as well as modeling the real world.

Toys for Ages Five and Up

When children start school, their abilities really start to take off. They are able to enjoy more complex toys such as electronic toys like remote control vehicles. GadgetUs and Baby Rachelle make interesting remote control cars, trucks and helicopters that school-age children enjoy. In addition, this age group is starting to read, so they can follow instructions for building toys and for arts and crafts projects. Bead projects, paper crafts, woodworking, and Play-dough are all popular choices in arts and crafts activities for this age group. School-age children are becoming adept at taking turns and getting along with others, so more complex board games are also a great choice of toy.
