toy

Toys are usually enjoyed by children at play. Classic toys include teddy bears, dolls and building blocks.

Some toys are educational, helping children learn developmental skills. Other toys are intended to simply entertain or occupy children. Parents often steer their children to gender-specific toys. For example, girls are encouraged to play with dolls and boys are encouraged to play with toy trucks.

Toy safety is always a hot topic in the Blogosphere. In the United States, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is responsible for ensuring the safety of toys. Bloggers are often the first to report toy recalls and rules enacted by the CPSC.
