Choose for the child's age and stage

When buying a toy from a specialist retailer, check the stated age range, warnings, materials and care instructions for the exact product.

Look for useful, open-ended play

Simple pieces can support different kinds of play as a child grows, but suitability depends on the product and the child.

Check construction and product information

Inspect the retailer's manufacturer information, safety warnings and instructions. Do not rely on a generic article as proof that a particular toy is suitable.

Plan the room around how it is used

Allow clear floor space and accessible storage. If you are choosing the room's backdrop, browse Kids-Mundo's current children's wall murals.
