I keep seeing award stickers on toy packages. If I buy a toy that has an award sticker on the box does that mean other similar toys are not as good? What guidelines can I follow for choosing a good toy?

Use them as a guide and follow 3 easy steps before making a decision on what to buy?

1.Analyze: What does the child have already? (Stacks of board games, tubs of building blocks, shelves of books) Take a quick INVENTORY of your child’s collection and see if there is a type of toy missing from the playroom. A new kind of toy will trigger interest and intrigue once opened!
2.Simplify- Parents “think” kids need a lot of toys, then regret having so many around the house! It is best to have a variety of TOY TYPES, so a child uses a range of developmental skills.
3.Magnify: It is imperative that toys are chosen which are age-appropriate and are of interest to a child. Choose toys that "MAGNIFY’ a child’s current skills and challenges those they need to work on.

Nursery bedding is usually chosen before a baby is brought home. It is important to remember that the investment made in nursery linen should be something that you like to see everyday. This set is attractive and decorative and suggested for a boy’s room. The Crib Skirt is made of quality fabric, an off-white linen with a chambray edge. The throw is white black, white, khaki, and chambray with chambray trim. The throw should be used as a decoration until the child is old enough to use it as a blanket.
