How to choose for your grandson
- Check the age range on the box against his actual age and abilities, not the age he was at the last visit.
- Pretend play sets, like a doctor or chef kit, suit preschoolers who love copying grown-ups and inventing stories.
- For a toddler, alphabet toys and bath squirters offer simple fun that grows with him as he starts learning letters.
- If he's older and loves sports, a baseball glove or a batting set can start a game you share outdoors.
Usually safe to skip
- Toys made for older kids can frustrate a young child and end up forgotten.
- Big ride-ons may not suit a family with a small home or no yard.
- Loud, battery-heavy toys may not be welcome with parents, so check first.
Questions people ask about gifts for your grandson
- What is a good gift for a young grandson?
- Play tents, pretend play sets and push or pedal ride-ons are favourites because they get kids moving and imagining. Match the toy to his age and to the space his family has at home.
- Should grandparents ask parents before buying a gift?
- It's usually worth a quick check. Parents know what he already has, what fits their home and any rules about noise or toy clutter, which helps the gift get used instead of stored away.
- What do you get a grandson who loves sports?
- Baseball and softball gear, like a glove, ball and child-sized bat, is a good start. Pair it with a plan to play catch together, which can make the gift more memorable than the gear itself.
