FAQs

  1. What toys are best for a six- or seven-year-old?

    Look for larger playhouses, outdoor swing sets and pretend play kitchens. Our building systems and dollhouses offer more detail and complexity. They can handle bigger outdoor structures and play more independently.

  2. How do I choose age-appropriate gifts for children?

    Choosing the right gift is about matching it to the child's development, interests, abilities, and safety needs. The CPSC and American Academy of Pediatrics recommend using the manufacturer's age guidance. Use our Gift Finder quiz to answer questions about age and interests or browse Shop by Age for gifts organized by developmental stage.

  3. What gifts are best for a four-year-old?
