Why you need a toy guide

Every parent spent a lot of money every year on toys. I also spent a lot money for buying toys for my two wonderful Kids, Kanak and Divya. Like other children's my kids are very much in love with toys. Earlier I never pay attention what toy is good to buy. Few months ago I read the book on Toy Tips, A Parent's Essential Guide to smart toy choices, authered by Marianne M. Szymanski and Ellen Newborne. After reading this book I realised that I must pay attention on the educational value of the toys I buy for my kids.

We all parents worry over everything, from schools and our anxieties, we gobble up every bit of information and expert advice in hopes of making the best possible decisions for our children. but in one crucial area, we parents remain surprisingly clueless: toys. Sure, we know the basics. Or we think we do. The truth is, the toy industry is one driven by hype and marketing savvy, the average parent is at a distinct disadvantage. Toy buying ought to be child's play.
