How to choose toys & games
Choose an age-appropriate toy that fits the child's interests and the space available. Replay value, replaceable parts and ease of storage matter more than the number of pieces in a box.
| Check before buying | Why it matters | Trade-off or limit |
|---|---|---|
| Age grading and hazards | Read small-part, magnet and battery warnings and supervision requirements. | An educational claim does not override the stated age restriction. |
| Replay value and compatibility | Check whether it works with existing sets and supports repeat play. | A specialist expansion may require a base set you do not own. |
| Storage and replacements | Check spare pieces, washable parts and battery or subscription needs. | A low initial price can hide recurring costs. |
Common mistake: Wooden or recycled construction is not a substitute for checking the exact toy's safety information.
Checking the Fair Trade label
This list uses the Fair Trade label recorded in the catalogue. Check the named certifier, current status and whether the claim applies to the whole company, one range or this exact item. A label does not guarantee performance, value or suitability for your needs.
