Hobbies And Interests
Toys for preschoolers
Electric toys for young children are widely available. Most are learning games made more exciting with the addition of audio, video and moving parts. Some examples are laptop devices pre-programmed with learning games and activities, video game systems designed for the rough play of toddlers, plush toys that sing songs or play games, and devices such as keyboards and mouses to hook into the family computer. The price of these toys range from $10 to $100.
Toys for elementary-aged kids
Electric games and toys for elementary school-aged children are much more sophisticated than in years past. Many children use these toys for fun and learning. Some examples of these toys are handheld video game systems, remote-controlled cars, walkie talkies, animals that are "cared for" via the Internet, electronic solar systems, digital cameras and camcorders specially designed for younger children. The price of these toys range from $10 to $100.
Toys for Tweens
Electric toys for the tween market are much more complex and high-tech than in former years -- and they are more expensive. Some of these toys can aid with school projects, but most are used to play and have fun. Some examples are night vision binoculars, netbooks, laser tag game systems, digital cameras and camcorders, spy toys and mp3 players. The prices of these toys are a bit higher, ranging from $20 to $150.
Toys for Teenagers
Electric toys for teenagers allow them to upload their work onto social networking sites, complete school projects, make music and just have fun with their friends. Some examples include handheld multimedia devices, remote-controlled car building sets, laptops, smartphones, webcams, camcorders and electric instruments, such as keyboards, drums and guitars. These toys can be far more expensive than ones for younger children, ranging from $25 to $350 and beyond.
