Toy stores are truly Heaven to any child.  Their eyes widen greatly as they view shelf after shelf filled with every toy imaginable.  Bicycles of all colors, tricycles, Big Wheels, and toy vehicles fill up aisles, and kids love to try them out and zoom around the store.  Toys “R” Us is one of the largest manufacturers of toys, as well as FAO Schwarz and numerous other suppliers of magical toys. 

Outdoor toys are wonderful for children to play with in their backyard or while playing in the pool.  Large, bouncing balls and electric cars are perfect for outside playing while it is lots of fun to ride on blow-up animals in the pool or play basketball and volleyball right in the water. 

Toys obviously can differ greatly in regards to gender.  Little girls are mesmerized with beautiful, realistic dolls that can eat, open and close their eyes, talk, and sometimes move around.  Girls are also the controllers of elaborate doll houses where they can move the tiny characters all about the house and explore their imagination with their very own little home.  Little girls are also usually the proud owners of numerous Barbie dolls and, of course, the amazing accessories that go along with Barbie such as cars, food, houses, and animals. 

Little boys are immensely entertained with a variety of toys such as action figures and other character toys, construction toys, Lego sets, train sets, wooden toys, dinosaur toys, and fake weapons.  Boys can easily become enthralled with engaging their superheroes in combat or fighting each other with large, plastic swords.  

Infant toys make up a wide selection of entertaining toys.  Many babies enjoy holding and sometimes chewing on cute and cuddly stuffed animals and other plush toys as well as a wide variety of colorful plastic toys.  Both babies and children enjoy playing with bath toys such as rubber ducks or plastic boats.  Little People and other characters are enthralling for boys and girls, and they come with a variety of settings such as farm toys, a circus, or a house. 

There are numerous educational toys available today that teach children so much before they even venture into schools.  Electronic games like Leapfrog products creatively teach kids the sounds of letters as well as shapes, colors, and numerous other concepts.  Children can still color in average coloring books or they can play video games where coloring is involved in a new, unique way.  Video games such as V Smile are specially designed for young children and are a wonderful way of teaching children key concepts that are crucial to their early development.
