As babies grow to be toddlers, the question of what is the perfect toy does come to mind.
Being at the tender age of 2 is where most parents are warned about "a little ones mind being like a sponge" so parents then flock to places such as Toys R Us, Target and Wal-Mart to find useful and engaging toddler sets.
But the question is what kind of toddler set should one get for that inquisitive toddler to keep them contented and occupied? One great toddler set is the one with play food.
Many years ago most toy sets contained your basic food groups-apples, oranges and bananas for fruit which represent some of the first fruits that children encounter; carrots for the veggies and usually eggs, meat and fish.
Nowadays with the multi-cultural society, imagine a child opening up a toy set as a gift and finding a pretend sushi set? How about a child being able to have a toy set that comes with a cutting board so that they can copy and imitate Mom and Dad in the kitchen as they prepare lunch or dinner for the family? Another great toddler set for toddlers to continue their learning with what they have and to accompany the play food are toy kitchens.
On the market you will find a variety of toy kitchens, usually in bright colors from red to purple or the standard pink and pastels, since the majority of toy kitchens that are bought are for little girls.
Most are also mass produced and made of plastic which unfortunately sometimes do not stand the test of time.
What parents nowadays want to see is longer lasting, durable toys-these are key and wooden toy kitchens are made of sturdy wood, which can not only take the pounding that children can definitely do to their toys, but it can also be passed down to siblings, cousins or another little girl whose eyes will light up seeing a toy kitchen that has real knobs that turn, or a refrigerator that they can store cartons of "milk" or "fruit" and drawers that open and close to store things! You child can also begin their journey playing with toy sets for toddlers that will remain in their memories for a lifetime.
Blocks have always been a real crowd pleaser, especially for babies and toddlers.
A great toddler set is blocks that can be carted around in a colorful cart and can serve a wonderful purposes-not only is the toy mobile and the child can take it anywhere with them, thereby promoting exercise.
Having engaging toys that stimulate the child's mind, coordination and imagination will be a boost for when that child enters into pre-school and kindergarten.
If a parent is concerned about the toy serving a dual purpose, blocks with colorful animals, numbers or letters is also a grand idea.
