Store shelves are packed with toys of every imaginable description. How do you select one for your child out of the hundreds of products available?


Walking through a toy store can be an overwhelming experience. In our new poll, found toward the bottom of this site's main page, I want to know how you personally choose one toy out of all of those choices. Do you consult with friends or read some of those top toy lists produced by expert panels? Do you look for the toys that seem to provide the best learning experience for your child? Or do you simply go for the one they have been asking you for? Quite likely you have used more than one of these methods to choose a new toy, but which would you use most often? If you use some other criteria, start a discussion and let us all know how you decide.
