A few simple things to look for
Hands-on and open-ended
Toys that can be built, matched or used in many ways tend to keep children engaged for longer than toys that do just one thing.
Screen-free
All the toys in this guide work without screens or apps. Several also work without batteries.
Check the age and safety notes
Every toy here is recommended for ages 3+. Many contain small parts, so adult supervision is recommended. Safety details are on each product page.
