  1. Step 1

    Consider the age of the child you are shopping for. Is the child a baby, toddler or preschooler? There are Fisher-Price toys specifically designed for each age group.

  2. Step 2

    Know what the child is interested in. Children who enjoy cooking will love one of the Fisher-Price kitchens. Dollhouses are good for children who like dolls. The Tap 'n Turn Bench and the Workshop are excellent for children who like tools or fixing things.

  3. Step 3

    Realize that fantasy play is important for children. The Little People sets, the Rescue Heroes and Great Adventures series are terrific toys for this.

  4. Step 4

    Be sure to consider ride-on toys. There are tricycles and Power Wheels toys, which are motorized ride-ons.

  5. Step 5

    Realize that many classic Fisher-Price toys that you once played with are still available - the Chatter Phone, Corn Popper and Medical Kit, for example.

  6. Step 6

    Look at the line of baby toys and be sure to notice the Slumbertime Soother and Kick 'n Crawl Playhouse. All rattles and teethers are attractive and interesting.

  7. Step 7

    Recognize that many Fisher-Price toys have won awards. Some honorees include the Slumbertime Soother, Fun Sounds Garage and Virtual Viewer ViewMaster.

  8. Step 8

    See that there are Magna Doodles, Briarberry Teddy Bears and many other popular lines of toys.

  9. Step 9

    Decide on a price range. Fisher-Price toys start at about $2 for rattles and range up to $300 for the most expensive Power Wheels vehicle. Most Fisher-Price toys are reasonable and very affordable.

  10. Step 10

    Order from the shopping list below or from your favorite online or local store.
