Instructions

    • 1

      Indulge your inner child: What would you have liked? Glow-in-the-dark stars? Action figures? Blocks? Trucks? Trains?

    • 2

      Check with his parents: What does he already have? What's he into this month? Is there a new toy that he's longing for?

    • 3

      Get into your task: Browse an online toy store or go to the mall. What looks fun?

    • 4

      Consider alphabet puzzles, alphabet blocks or alphabet magnets. He'll be reading soon.

    • 5

      Consider sound: Might he like a plastic portable cassette player or a tape recorder? A CD or tape of nursery rhymes? Or some keyboarding software?

    • 6

      Go for a gift certificate, especially if you're out of state or out of time.

    • 7

      Think long-term: Earmark a donation to his educational fund.

Tips & Warnings

  • Make sure whatever you get is returnable so you can avoid adding to those piles of unused items in the garage.

  • Read the packaging and warning labels carefully to be sure that whatever you settle on is safe for young children.
