Toys are usually part of a baby's first years, as they act as a means through which the baby gets to first make out objects and relate them to their uses.
But there are some things to be born in mind when thinking about the types of toys to get for your child.
First and most importantly is the age.
You could buy toys that could end up frustrating your child other than helping him develop, simply because they are either too complex or too simple for them.
Get to ascertain a child's age first before thinking of the type of toy to purchase.
Since toys are supposed to stimulate some senses in the baby besides helping him relate the toys with real life experiences, then it means the type of toy that you buy your child will determine the kind of person he will be.
If you are the type to buy your child guns then you should know that the child might end up being just a lover of guns.
Take enough time thinking about the type of toy that will be appropriate for your child and that which will help him bring out something positive in him.
Safety of a child's toy is very important.
And since it is widely known that children are fond of putting things in their mouth, and then it is important to note that when purchasing children toys, safety of the user should be put first.
Think about the safety hazards the toys, whether or not they can easily choke the child after being swallowed etc.
Some toys contain harmful chemicals which as soon as they find their way into the child's body, they might just as well harm him.
Durability of children toys is extremely important, not unless you want to be the type that will keep spending on toys after every short while.
A durable toy means that you save up enough for other responsibilities.
