When selecting appropriate toys for children, which is NOT one of the three key considerations?

The correct approach to selecting toys for children involves several critical considerations to ensure both safety and developmental appropriateness. The three main considerations typically include safety, appropriateness, and feasibility in terms of age, skill level, and educational value.

When considering the option of entertainment, while it is certainly important for a toy to engage a child's interest and promote play, it is not one of the primary factors in determining whether a toy is suitable. The underlying focus should be first on safety, to ensure there are no harmful materials or choking hazards. Appropriateness pertains to whether the toy is suitable for the child's developmental stage and abilities. Feasibility often relates to the practicality of using the toy and whether it meets the child's needs, as well as the environment in which it will be used.

Thus, while entertainment value is a factor in kids’ enjoyment, it is secondary to ensuring that the toy is safe and developmentally appropriate. Prioritizing the other considerations aligns better with best practices in child development and safety.
