When selecting holiday toys for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers during the holiday season, choosing safe and suitable items for their developmental stage is essential. For Infants, look for toys that stimulate the senses, like soft books with high-contrast patterns. Toddlers benefit from simple, hands-on toys, such as blocks or chunky puzzles, that encourage exploration and motor skill development. Preschoolers refining their fine motor skills and engaging in more complex play might enjoy more interactive toys like dress-up clothes or simple board games. Always ensure the holiday toys are developmentally appropriate and safe (with no small parts or hazardous materials), and promote learning and growth through play.
