Few days ago we were walking downtown when suddenly Jaxy tried to run and wanted to go on her own.  We noticed that her eyes were fixed on the the toy store ahead.  Since she really insisted on going in to that store we decided to go with her and see what toys she likes.  She then picked up a big rubber ball, bigger than her size and carry it out of the store.  I went to the counter and paid the ball.  It was not part of the budget but since our daughter wanted it, we bought it.

Few minutes ago we discussed on the things that we need to consider before buying toys for our daughter and I wanted to share it with you.

1.  Is it necessary?  Sometimes we buy toys because the children wanted it.  Boys always wanted to have a new toy car or a new toy gun even if they already have one.

2.  Is the toy safe?  Safety first.  Our principal in the kindergarten always emphasize the safety of the kids at all times.

3.  Is it useful? Every toy must lead to improve the skills of the child.

4.  Is it durable?  Consider the quality of the toys before buying them.

5.  Is it worth the price?  Some toys are not worth the price.  This part needs to be considered carefully.

These are the things we consider before buying toys next time.
