## Look beyond the age label Age guidance is a useful starting point, but interests, abilities, and supervision matter too. Choose products that feel safe and achievable for your child now.
## Prefer open-ended value Materials that support more than one kind of play often stay relevant longer. Building, sorting, storytelling, and pretend play can evolve as skills grow.
## Check and maintain regularly Inspect toys and feeding products for wear, loose parts, or damage. Follow care guidance and supervise whenever a product or activity requires it.
