Tips for Buying on a Budget

• One great toy beats five average ones. A single well-made quiet book will outlast and outperform a bag of plastic toys.
• Age-appropriate matters. A toy that's too advanced frustrates; one that's too simple bores.
• Look for multi-skill toys. The best value toys build multiple skills simultaneously.
