The age of independence has come to your child. The best toys for this age group do not require structured playtime. They are the types of toys that your child can go off and play with as she sees fit. Play sets are a great toy for this age. Children at this age love to mimic what they see mom and dad doing. A toy lawn mower or vacuum cleaner can also help this desire to be like the adults that she sees. Music is always on of the ongoing interests for many children. Toy instruments help children learn to create their own music. This will help their creativity grow. She may not be the next Mozart but the lessons that she will learn from these toys will help in years to come. Simple puzzle toys will help your little one develop her problem solving skills and let her enjoy little victories.
