"I understand how this can be frustrating, but rest assured this does not place your child at a disadvantage academically."

"All of these expensive toys that are advertised and purchased by some people are not necessary for preschoolers. Simple toys like chalk and Legos are great."

"Do you play with your child and provide means of play through things like dolls, puzzles, crayons, and Play-Doh? These are the types of toys suggested for preschoolers."

Expensive and elaborate toys do not place a child at an academic or developmental advantage. Simple toys that require interactive rather than passive play, and that may include the involvement of the parent, are recommended to foster development.
