Younger children often begin by imitating simple everyday actions before gradually developing more elaborate stories, assigning roles and creating imaginary worlds. Play kitchens, dolls, toy cars, musical instruments, costumes and role play sets can accompany different stages of childhood.</p> <p>Always consider the manufacturer's recommended age, particularly when toys include small parts or accessories. Your child's abilities, interests and preferred ways of playing are equally important.
