What to buy
Print Edition
INTERNATIONAL Children's Day is near and that means parents may want to plan a fun day for the little ones or buy them a gift.
A wide range of gift options are available, but many parents may feel overwhelmed by the myriad choices. Some tend to buy expensive high-tech products for their kids, but remember the golden rule — kids just want to have fun.
When picking gifts for kids, people should consider age, gender and their interests into account. It is recommended to choose things designed for a child’s age. Also, parents should not forget to check the safety of the products they choose for their children.
Some ingeniously designed toys can be both fun and educational. Some gifts can inspire kids to explore, imagine, invent and help them develop many new skills.
Sporting goods are a good choice as sports help build character and keep children fit. But parents need to help their kids discover what they like. Sports such as baseball, basketball and soccer are good for helping kids learn to be part of a team.
