Dollhouses provide endless hours of imaginative play. They encourage storytelling, role-playing, and social interaction. Dollhouses also help children develop empathy and nurturing skills.

Train sets are classic toys that captivate children's attention. They promote hand-eye coordination, spatial reasoning, and logical thinking. Building and arranging the tracks also enhance problem-solving skills.

4. Puzzles

Puzzles challenge children's problem-solving abilities and improve their cognitive skills. They come in various difficulty levels, allowing kids to progress and develop their critical thinking skills.

5. Stuffed Animals

Stuffed animals provide comfort, companionship, and emotional support for children. They encourage imaginative play, role-playing, and storytelling. Stuffed animals also help kids develop empathy and express their emotions.
