Pretend Play Toys by Age

Pretend play toys for toddlers and preschoolers should use familiar themes, manageable accessories and product-specific age guidance. As language and social skills grow, children can create longer kitchen, shopping, tool, doctor, housekeeping, caring and salon stories.

For kindergarten and older children, look for sets that support changing roles, planning scenes and inventing different stories with the same pieces.
