Toys Will Suit Age,
Interests of Child
If Carefully Chosen
Picture the sight of the proud
parent who sees to it that Santa
brings bundles of expensive and
Intricate toys and soon after Christ
mas finds that little Junior prefers
to play with Mother’s pots and
pans,
U happens, quite often, and poori
Dad never reallnes that he has
made an unwise selection of toys.
Quite often, he Is slightly disturbed)
because his child Isn’t Interested
in what he considers excellent
playthings,
Toymakers are highly consclovui
of the fact that children at various
ages have different Interests and
manufacture toys for specific agt
groups. Fur the one-yea r‘and‘Un«
der age group there are hundreds
of excellent toys—soft, cuddly
bears, elephants and other animals
that can be squeesed to makt
noises and sounds, For this ags
group, too, there arc many floating
toys, most of which are made cl
sponge, celluloid or plastic
Toys to l*|ease
The child who has Just learned
in walk, or Is less than two years, 1
likes toys that he eon poll or push
around. Ineluding dolls, stuffed ani
mals, rubber and plastic automo
biles amt vehicles, Toys lhat call
lie easily swallowed should ba
avoided as well as building blocks,
which are Just something to throw
amt scatter about,
Itloeks, trucks, airplanes, boats,
simple pussies and toys of this na
ture are suited to the interests o!
pre-school children and it Is usu
ally at this age that children begin
to see a distinction between toyg
fur boys and toys for girls, Royi
begin to favor cowboy and Indian
outfits, girls choose dolls, frlUy)
playthings and small replicas otj
household equipment such aa
brooms, toy furniture and dlshea.
Hoys In the four-year age group,
particularly if father is a ”do«il-
yourself" enthusiast, will Ilka
s'uell tool chests and workshop
equipment that will enable them U»
imitate their fathers
Creative toys
Pre-school children are usually
Interested In creative things—
paints, crayons and modeling clay,
A small, simply operated record
player also makes an excellent gift.
Whin Houm Hain’t
Always Had a Trta
President Theodore Roosevelt,
an early conservationist, once dis
approved of Christmas trees and
for several years forbade any be
ing brought into the White House,
But one year, his sons, Archie
and Quentin, smuggled one in and
set it up In Archie’s room, After
the discovery, Gifford Plnchot, a
great forester and conservationist
who later became Governor of
Pennsylvania, soothed T.R. by ex
plaining that supervised and care
ful harvesting of Christmas trees
—as thinnings—was good for the
forests because It gave other trees
room to grow,
Kver since, the White House has
had an indoor tree.
