What are the needs of each child according to their age? And what kind of toys and dolls are appropriate for them?
During their growth, children experience different stages of development, each with specific needs and demands, but one characteristic that children have in common, regardless of their age range, is that they all want to play and have fun. This is a way of learning and discovering their world, because through play they interact with their parents and their environment, assimilating what the people and the place around them are like.
So, in order to promote their development, toys play a key role in each of the growth phases, as they not only entertain children, but also stimulate important skills. In the following sections, we will go into more detail about what children are like in each of these stages and what kind of toys they need for their learning.

This stage is characterized by children becoming more independent and beginning to imitate what adults do.

It is a stage of development of their personality and identity, they seek to establish their own limits and define their preferences. It is also normal to seek more independence and create a new social circle, which are their friends and acquaintances.
