How we chose the list
1. Development milestones
Creating a list of the best toys for toddlers is not an easy task. The toy industry is flooded with a variety of toys and choosing the best for your toddler can be rather confusing. Minnie Mouse toys are also in abundance and thus, coming up with a list of the best Minnie Mouse toys required us to not only enforce a stringent selection criterion, but also understand the various development stages of a child. Certain toys are only relevant when a child achieves a particular milestone. For instance, a Minnie Mouse Pram is not suitable for an 8-month old child, for he or she cannot even walk in the first place.
2. Suitability
When creating this list of Minnie Mouse toys and accessories, we had to take into consideration its appropriateness. We had to gauge the suitability of a toy in relation to a child’s development and play value. Will a particular toy improve a child’s communication skills? Will it stimulate a child’s creative ability or imagination? We had to ask ourselves tough questions, as toys play an important role in the overall development of a child. We had to strike off some toys from our list, as they did not meet our selection criteria.
3. Consumer ratings
Consumer reviews played an important role in our selection process. By gathering and evaluating the views of end-users, we were able to establish the popular Minnie Mouse Toys. We had to leave out toys that had a rating of below four (4) stars, simply because these toys seemingly do not provide the necessary customer satisfaction. Although a large number of Minnie Mouse toys had positive reviews, there were one or two complaints from unhappy customers. We had to look at the negative reviews also to determine if they could have an impact on our shortlist. Fortunately, none of the negative comments had an impact on our selection process.
4. Safety
We had to assess the materials used for the Minnie Mouse toys before coming up with our shortlist. The safety of your children is very important, especially when choosing appropriate toys for them. Children tend to be curious most of the time and like putting things into their mouths just to have a feel. This can be dangerous, as it might lead to choking, suffocation or even fatality. In our selection process, we had to look at toys, which do not have easily breakable parts neither do they contain any dangerous chemicals such as lead coating. We had to ensure that all the toys in our shortlist meet safety standards.
Buying guide
The perfect time to acquire a toy for your little princess is when she begins to recognize or perceive different items in her environment. Kids tend to be inquisitive most of the time and leaving them without something to play with can be detrimental to their safety. They can grab any item in their sights just to quench their curiosity. To avoid compromising the safety of your little one, you should acquire toys to keep her busy. Here is a buying guide on what you should look for when selecting a Minnie Mouse toy for your little princess.
1. Educational purpose
When purchasing a Minnie Mouse toy, you should consider the educational purpose of the toy. Will your child learn new skills from her Minnie Mouse toy or is it for purposes of just keeping her busy? A child’s education is broad and may include learning about numbers, letters or distinguishing different shapes and colors. Toys not only influence the education of a child but also improve her abilities and skills. The Minnie Mouse Smartphone is a good example of an educational toy. The toy has interactive buttons that will keep your child busy all day, as she learns new skills.
2. Exercise
Just like adults, kids need exercise too, to remain fit and healthy. When acquiring a Minnie Mouse toy, select an item that will utilize your child’s energy for the purposes of exercising. A ride-on toy is a good exercise accessory, for it will compel your child to use her energy when moving around the playground. This type of toy not only seeks to strengthen your child’s leg muscles, but also improve her balance and coordination.
3. Value
Does the toy give great value for money? Just like any other accessory, a Minnie Mouse toy should have an equal return on investment, in terms of benefits. Will your kid benefit from playing around with her new toy? Will it stimulate her to realize her full potential? A majority of Minnie Mouse toys, especially in the above list provides great value for money, as well as play value.
4. Durability
Kids are destructive in nature and can spoil any fragile item that you bring home to them, out of either frustration or mere fun. When purchasing a Minnie Mouse toy, consider its durability. Mostly, wooden and plastic toys are the best, for they can withstand a few hits here and there.
