Shopping for Preschoolers has its
challenges. Many of the injuries to children happen when the toy that
is picked out is not the right one for their age. Use this guide to
help you pick out the right toy for their age group.
Preschool children love to run around. They are beginning to test
their physical strengths. They really like to be challenged to ride
tricycles, use their finger control and to build things. Toys that are
great for this age group are books, wooden trains and outdoor toys like
swings and slides.
This holiday season there are a couple of great toys that can also help your Preschooler develop these abilities too.
My Little Pony So Soft Newborn Pinkie (Hasbro, $15.72 @ Walmart.com) Ages 3+
She is a sweet pony-a newborn who needs extra special care, that
only your preschooler can give! Rock her and she'll talk. She says
things like 'I'm sleepy', 'Will you rock me?' and 'I love you'. Includes: a pacifier and 3 AAA batteries.
Your child will be able to get any job done with this great Wrecking
Rig. They can combine and then re combine the pieces a different way.
It also transforms into a wrecking crane with a ball that make a
crashing sound on impact. Includes: a man and 3 AG13 batteries.
