The Kindergarten child is ready for more challenging toys. Good selections are beginning science kits. They will be participating in science fairs at school and getting them interested before time will make their in school projects more interesting. They are ready for more intricate board games and more adventurous out door play. One thing to do is to impress upon the kindergarten child not to let younger children play with their toys. They contain small parts that can be very dangerous to a younger child. It is a good idea if you have younger children to have separate storage areas and when they play together, use the younger child’s toys. If someone is coming to visit with a younger child, ask them to bring some of the child’s favorite toys and get our your child’s old toys for them to play with. Safety should always be the main concern.
