There are no clear-cu- t rules as to what toys are best for boys or girls, and interests within the sexes vary so much that the parent, and not the researcher, is the expert on his or her child. Age guidelines listed on the toy package not only are a useful tool in safeguarding the health of children too young to safely use the toy, but reflect a scientific judgement as to what age groups would be most interested in the particular toy. Again, parents are the expert on their child. Children enjoy the feeling of competence and mastery that comes from a successful play experience. Psychologists suggest that children prefer and benefit most from toys that are just slightly above their level of competence. Toys that are more than slightly above a childs level of competence will either not be used by the child, or will serve as a source of frustration as the parent to force teach a child. Because children are so interested in growing up and mastering skills, parents will find success in selecting toys that enable a child to master the particular skills pertinent to the child at the time. An infant, who must learn to focus correctly and to manipulate objects will enjoy bright toys of con-stru- nreds--saiisfyin- tive. and dramatic play which help a needs--loy- s ehilil impiove his underworld. needs-to- ys that can teach social abilities and values.

Toys are tools from which a child can build physical, mental, and social abilities to function effectively in the world. With 5,000 new toys in addition to approximately 150,000 toys introduced in previous years, toy selection is a challenging and sometimes frustrating task.
