What developmental skills should gifts support at age 4?
At 4, focus on fine motor skills (building, art), pretend play (imagination development), early literacy (letter recognition, counting), and social skills (games with rules, sharing).
Are screen-based toys appropriate for 4-year-old boys?
The AAP recommends limiting screen time to 1 hour per day for ages 2-5. If choosing a tablet or screen toy, look for educational content and parental controls. Balance with plenty of hands-on, active play.
