The best toy is the one that matches your child’s age and what they are learning right now. A rattle that delights a 6-month-old bores a 5-year-old, and a board game bought too early ends up in a cupboard. This guide goes age by age, with real toys you can order in Pakistan and pay for in cash when they arrive.

All prices below are from The Aurea as of October 2026 and may change during sales.

Why age matters when you buy a toy

A toy that is too advanced frustrates a child. One that is too simple gets ignored. Toys with small parts are also a choking risk for children under 3, so always read the age label on the product page before you order.

If you are unsure, shop by age directly: 0-1 years, 2-3 years, 3-5 years, 6-7 years and 8+ years.

Best toys for babies (0 to 1 year)

Babies learn through touch, sound and sight. Look for soft, light toys that are easy to grip and safe to chew.

• Rattles and teethers: The Loving Hut Baby Rattles & Teethers Gift Set (Rs. 1,399) is a practical choice, and it also works well as a newborn gift.
• Play gym and play mats: Tummy time on a play gym or play mat helps build neck and shoulder strength.
• More options: Browse all baby toys.

Tip: Wash new toys with mild soap and water before first use, since babies put everything in their mouths.

Best toys for toddlers (2 to 3 years)

Toddlers want to move, stack, sort and make noise. Toys that respond to what they do keep them interested the longest.

• Shape sorting and music: The Shape Sorting & Xylophone Bus Toy (Rs. 2,699) mixes colours, shapes and simple music in one toy.
• Ride-ons: Push cars and tricycles build balance and leg strength.
• Stacking and blocks: Simple blocks teach cause and effect.

Best toys for preschoolers (3 to 5 years)

At this age children start pretend play and early learning. They copy what adults do, so role-play toys are very popular.

• Early learning: The Angry Birds Educational Learning Laptop (Rs. 1,149) has 5 interactive modes and 32 English words, a good first step before school.
• Building: The Cube Track Railway Building Block Set, 18 pieces (Rs. 3,149) lets children design their own track and train route.
• Pretend play: A mini kitchen or doll house builds language and imagination.

Best toys for ages 6 to 7

Six and seven-year-olds enjoy rules, collecting and active play. This is when board games and remote control toys start to work well.

• Collectibles: The Pokemon Multicolor Foil Trading Cards Set (Rs. 799) is an affordable option for card fans.
• Imaginative play: The 6-Piece Superhero Action Figure Set (Rs. 1,599) suits story-making and role play.
• Active play: The 3-in-1 RC Activity Ladybug Toy Set (Rs. 7,399) gets children jumping, balancing and moving.

Best toys for ages 8 and above

Older children enjoy strategy, words and challenge. Board games are also one of the best ways to get the whole family off screens.

• Word games: Scrabble Original Crossword Game (Rs. 1,899) builds spelling and vocabulary.
• Strategy: Sequence Classic Strategy Board Game (Rs. 2,199) is easy to learn and works for 2 to 12 players.
• Remote control: The Bubble Striker R/C Soccer Hover Car (Rs. 4,799) has a 2.4GHz remote, LED lights and automatic bubbles.
• More choices: Browse RC cars, puzzles and science kits.
