Every holiday season, friends and family wonder around to choose the best gifts for children that can attract their attention and impress their personalities.
But some are also looking for what might help them experience learning interesting skills.
What factors can be considered when shopping for gifts?
Curtin University Professor Mr. Leon Stracker told ABC Radio to stay away from the latest trend to stick to the old and the simple.
There are millions of toys you can choose from, but the ones that use imagination and creative thinking may occupy children’s’ attention for a longer time.
Also, toys that offer an opportunity to develop children social skills such as teaching them to play musical instruments with others considered one great gift for all.
For the development of motor skills and coordination between hands and eyes you can consider something like sports tools, drawing tools and wooden puzzles. These are among the most popular gifts through different generations and the holiday season.
