1. 0-2 years old.

For children aged 0-2 who are in infancy, they should choose animals with exaggerated shapes, such as cartoonized and more intuitive shapes, such as big headed and big eyed puppies and rabbits. Because children at this time have immature thinking and poor discrimination abilities, what they need are toys with prominent shapes and bright colors. It is best to choose pink or cream yellow as the color of toys, as children of this age are more sensitive to red and yellow colors, which helps to enhance their attention. The size of the toy should not be too large, usually less than half the length of a young child, for the convenience of children to touch, grab, and play with.

2. 3-6 years old.

For children aged 3-6 who are in their early childhood, the selected toys should have realistic shapes to facilitate their recognition and knowledge growth. When choosing animal toys, it is best to feature them to help children deepen their impression. If choosing a panda toy, it should be clear between black and white to let children know that this is the characteristic of pandas. Although there is a type of bear that also has black and white colors, it is not suitable to choose it for young children to avoid causing them to have an illusion. It is best to often take children to the zoo to watch real animals to increase their interest in plush toy dolls. Of course, children during this period can choose some exaggerated animals, but this exaggeration must be based on the premise that it cannot be confused with real animals.
