When purchasing toys for a child, whether it is their birthday or just a holiday, it is crucial that you purchase toys that will help enhance their abilities while exercising all their domains. When you purchase toys for a child, you need to think of their age and the skills they need to work on developing to ensure their progress on hitting developmental milestones. When researching toys to invest in for your children, it is important that you investigate whether the toys will benefit their cognitive domain, physical domain, and/or emotional/social domain. Exercising these domains is crucial to the development of all children.

My first child is a one-year-old girl. She is developing well and hitting all the correct milestones needed as she progresses and grows, but needs work on getting up and moving around more often. She also needs to start being introduced to more mind stimulating activities. I looked for toys that focused on her physical domain as well as cognitive to promote her learning ability, but also toys she would enjoy as a child that would satisfy her emotional/social domain. That being said, I retrieved most of my information from ToysRUs, or Fisher-Price.

My second child is a seven-year-old boy. He has just gone into the second grade and enjoys being active outside and playing with his friends. However, he needs to work on more cognitive skills, which will positively impact him at school. I focused on getting him games and toys that would work his physical domain, as well as games and activities that would work his cognitive skills. I also tried to incorporate a positive emotional/social domain with some toys by choosing games that would allow him to play with friends and allow him to build better social skills, or games that he would find interesting. That being said, most of his toys came from Wal-Mart, but also some other online stores that promoted cognitive development.
