They should be textured, colourfull, if books clear printed writing, toys that help create a story for the child IE, dressing up clothes, boxes ect encourage them to play with the toy ask questions like and what are you going to do now and who are you going to see, not are you going to see the queen/ king, as they help encorage creativity. messy toys suck as paint, and gardening things like flower pots.
