Advice

How to choose?

When choosing role-play toys, it's helpful to consider:

  • Play theme: choose among kitchen sets, doctor's kits, hair salons, shops and similar themes based on your child's interests.
  • Child's age: simpler sets with fewer pieces are suitable for the youngest children, while more elaborate sets with more accessories suit older preschool children.
  • Material and durability: wooden and fabric toys are generally more durable under frequent play than lightweight plastic versions.
  • Realistic details: toys with details that mimic real objects further encourage imaginative play.
  • Space requirements: some sets, such as kitchens or workshops, require more space, so think ahead about where the toy will be placed before buying.
