When Buying For Children
Keep Their Ages In Mind
Buying a useful, Christmas toy
for acting child i§ not as easy as
it looks. ,, A v«y. ■
Children have 'capabilities de
pendent to a large extend upon
their age. Unless you give some
thought to your gift, and choose
one which requires no more of the
child -than the child can give, it
can easily become a complete
waste of time and money.
Six-year-old Susie will hardly
give her fluffy dog a second look,
and 2-year-old Peter will smasn his
complicated wind-up clown during
the first five minutes.
“It’s vitally important both from
a safety and educational stand
point to select toys that are suit
able for each child's use at the
time he receives them,” according
to Dr. Emma Sheehy, professor of
Child Development at Columbia
Teachers College and chairman of
the Toy Guidance Council advisory
Cbmmitttee.
To help those without small
children to observe all during the
year, here are some of the basic
play favorites, classified according
to age appeal:

or books are possibilities.
Next best may be something to

he is especially fond of.

fine and these should be as at
tractive as possible. If the person
