start ourselves before we are
forced into it, "commented Gar -

It's that time of year again
when the insistent clamor of
"tis the season to be jolly" leave:
one feeling far from jolly when
struggling against overwhelming
odds to select just the right toys
for the young ones in your fam-
ily.
It is a difficult decision at any
time of year and before you are
reduced to the eeney-miney-moe
system, Consumers' Association
of Canada would like to offer
a few toy -buying tips for your
guidance.
Buy with the individual child
in mind. When buying a play-
thing, first try to find out the
stage, the interest and the
capabilities of your young con-
sumer. Learn his needs by watch-
ing the child at play. Note his
stage of development, For in-
stance, a simple wooden con-
struction set with large pieces
might be chosen for a well co-
ordinated child of four to en-
courage creative building al-
though the same set might be
equally suitable for a poorly
co-ordinated child of seven to
improve his manual dexterity,
muscle control and perseverance
without causing frustration.
Consider the ways in which the
plaything will be used. Safety
and durability are to be looked
for in every toy, but pre-school
toys must be extra durable --
large enough for small hands to
grasp and simple in detail. Grade
:school children will appreciate
finer detail in realistic design
because they can handle small
and finely detailed items with
greater ease. When considering
a wheel toy for indoor/outdoor
use, the buyer should consider
all factors pertaining to ease of
use including balance, weight
and size; functioning of moving
parts; design and materials used
including whether the rubber
wheels will mark the floors and
if the metal axles are of high
enough quality to resist rust if
left outside.
Toys and dress -up clothes and
accessories offer endless avenues
of adventure into the adult world.
Creativity is stimulated by sup-
plies of art materials suited to
the child's age,
A basic set of unit blocks used
by the young child can be greatly
enhanced by the addition of
small scale cars, trains, boats,
people, animals, trees and
houses. A great variety is poss-
ible and interest may be main-
tained over a period of years,
Later, more complex building
sets may in turn be supplied with
additional accessories such as
gears and motors.
A prism, magnet or magnifying
glass may introduce the six- or -
seven year old to the fascinating
world of science. A reasonably
priced, good quality microscope
may foster a life-long interest in
botany or biology. For the sed-
entary child, perhaps a piece of
outdoor play equipment will
help him balance his playtime,
while for the active child, an
intriguing game may help him
learn to sit and concentrate.
Toys can be found in everyday
objects. For little housekeepers,
what could be More appealing
than the small real pots, pans,
beaters and cookie cutters to be
found in any hardware store?
And for the junior carpenter, a
real tack hammer, large headed
nails and a bag of softwood scraps
from the lumberyard make a real
hit. The stationery and variety
store also should be considered
for the wealth of items such as
flashlights, order pads, ticket
rolls, paper punches, padlocks,
stickers, pip -cleaners, scissors
and glue --all of which can en-
courage imaginative and creat-
ive play.
It makes sense for a consumer
to look closely at purchases in
the toy field. A little thought
about toys and play can save the
consumer time and money and
four child, disappointment and
rustration.

dren.
