How to choose for kids
- Match the challenge level to the child's age, since games and building sets that are too advanced cause frustration.
- Science and exploration sets work best for curious kids who ask lots of questions about how things work.
- Card games and board games with short play times suit younger kids and fit easily into busy family evenings.
- Ask parents about current interests, favourite characters or what the child already owns to avoid duplicates.
Usually safe to skip
- Toys aimed at much younger kids, which can feel babyish and get ignored.
- Sets with hundreds of pieces for a child who doesn't enjoy long, focused building.
- Games that need lots of reading, for early readers who can't play without help.
