As the mother of two little girls, I think it is important to think about our childrens toys before purchasing! Here are several questions you might want to ask yourself about your children’s toys:

Are these childrens toys educational?
What is my child going to learn while playing?
Will it stimulate their imagination?
Will my children use it for pretend play?
Can they use this toy in more than one way?
