As a private school consultant, I have the privilege of meeting many Manhattan, Brooklyn and Westchester families in their homes. These are the toys and media that many of them tell me their children love:
Preschool and Kindergarten
The biggest set ever. Get it with world figures for extra fun.
The game of hilarious comparisons. Truly amusing.
Game that develops spatial thinking, a good skill to have.
Fun matching game. If your child beats you, don’t blame me.
Elementary School
Unique, ad-free magazine and safe social network for learning and creative self-expression. Great alternative to Facebook.
