Everyone likes presents, and kids are no different. Rather, once you become a parent, you come to know that children demand gifts on every other occasion. Whether it's their birthday or the holiday season, sometimes you need to bribe them with presents of their choice to make them do something they wouldn't otherwise do.
However, the problem is that these little human beings are fascinated by every other toy, but soon they get bored of it. Hence, picking a gift your little one will enjoy for a long time is a bit of a challenge. For your convenience, we have compiled a list of the Top Toys for Pretend Play.
