Frequently asked questions
What is a good Christmas gift at three?
Look for a clear first play, a little room for imagination, and an age-appropriate activity that can return after the holiday.
Should I choose a toy or an experience?
Either can be thoughtful. The best choice is one that suits the child's current interests and the family's everyday rhythm.
