Here's how we picked items on the below list:
1. They must inspire the child to think creatively + promote the use of imagination.
2. Limit toys with batteries
3. Toys that make them move.
4. Quality over quantity. They don't need a ton of toys - just a couple good, quality ones.
5. Products should be durable enough for you kid to play.
