Toys should suit a child’s age, everyday life and interests. When looking for toys for children, however, eye-catching product images and big promises don’t always lead to a good buying decision. Three issues are often the cause of disappointment later on:
Age guidance is an important safety consideration, but it isn’t a complete buying guide. With toys for ages 3+, small parts may present a choking hazard. Products containing magnets need particular care: swallowing magnets can cause serious injuries. Magnetic building blocks should therefore be checked regularly for cracks, loose parts and exposed magnets.
For baby musical toys, rounded edges, a stable base and easy cleaning are practical features. For babies, also check whether any parts can come loose and whether the toy should only be used under direct supervision.
Look for specific information about the materials, manufacturer and responsible person in the EU. Standards and markings such as EN 71, CE or REACH should be explained clearly in the product information, rather than simply used as marketing terms. Claims such as ‘BPA-free’ or ‘ABS’ relate to material properties, but don’t replace checking whether the toy is suitable for the child’s age.
For LCD writing tablets, also consider the quality of the casing, screen size, erase function and power supply. For construction toys, the size and compatibility of the pieces, as well as storage, are key considerations.
Educational toys don’t have to be complicated. An LCD writing tablet can be used for drawing, taking notes or keeping children occupied while travelling. Construction toys offer different ways to play through building, while role-play toys let children act out social situations. For collectors, scale, materials, display size and whether the figure is chosen at random are more important.
When choosing a remote-controlled drone for children, parents should also consider the flying environment, remote control, battery life, protective frame and level of supervision required. A lightweight model with propeller guards is usually more practical indoors than a larger drone.

Look for products with clear age guidance, straightforward features and safe storage for small parts. Role-play toys, simple construction sets and LCD writing tablets can all be suitable options. Supervision is especially important with magnetic building blocks and figures containing small parts.
Lifespan depends on the casing, screen, battery compartment and how the toy is used. Keep it away from water, strong knocks and extreme temperatures. Before buying, check whether batteries are included, which replacement batteries are needed and whether the device continues to work reliably after frequent use of the erase function.
Check the recommended age range, propeller guards, battery type, charging time and the batteries needed for the remote control. Initial flights should take place in a clear, open area under adult supervision. Keep small drones and spare propellers out of reach of younger siblings.
