Are you a parent of more than one child? There are plenty of houses out there just like yours, with children running around cheerfully with their many playthings.

TOO MANY playthings, it seems. In order to reduce the number of toys and create some organization in your home it makes sense to have toys for kids that can span multiple ages.
Children progress through many developmental stages as they mature. The important takeaway is that while children develop skills and abilities in roughly the same order, the timeframes are not exact.
These are the commonly held developmental stages:– Baby: Birth to twelve months– Toddler: One year to three years– Preschooler: Three to five years– Grade schooler: five to twelve years – Teen: Twelve to eighteen years
Vehicles are a big hit with children of all developmental stages and a great example of a multi-age toy! Cars and trucks are obvious choices, but remember to include buses, trains, boats, and more.
