Tuko Transport Cargo Airplane Set

When shopping for toys for 3-year-old boys, any product that encourages pretend and imaginative play is sure to please. Since the age is when little ones begin exploring, socializing and learning shapes, colors and numbers, your best bet is to choose toys that will be both engaging (they still have a short attention span!) and fun. There are also many educational options that will also help them get ready for preschool and facilitate the development of important cognitive skills.

At age 3, many kiddos start to crave self-sufficiency, meaning they want to do things on their own, so consider buying toys that will help them gain independence. For example, puzzles may help them develop motor skills to dress or clean up after themselves or open-ended toys such as building sets may encourage them to develop ideas and carry them out.

• Look for toys that are likely to grow with your child or can be repurposed. For example, a building set or action figures may be interesting to your little one at different development ages.
• Avoid purchasing toys that need to be plugged in, especially for younger children, which are safer playing with battery-powered ones. Just be sure to keep button-sized batteries, which can be swallowed, away from them.
• Always review the labels on toy packages, which can help you decide if the toy is safe for a child’s age or complements his or her interests. Also make sure the product is made of safe, non-toxic materials.
• Invest in high-quality toys made by brands you know and trust, and be sure to check toy recalls to prevent any accidents down the road.
