Little People by Age: What to Choose at 1, 18 Months and 2 to 5
Little People are made for ages 1 to 5, which is a long time in a small life. A child at one and a child at four want very different things from the same farm. Here is how we think about it.
At 1 year: press, drop, repeat
First birthdays are about cause and effect. A button that plays a song, a hayloft that swallows a cow, a bus door that opens. Look for sets with big activation points and only a few pieces.
At 18 months: favorites appear
Around a year and a half, children start recognising characters and asking for them by name. Most of our Disney, Barbie, My Mario and DC sets start at 18 months for that reason.
From 2 to 5: the long stories
Now play has a plot. Bigger sets with more places to go keep up with it, and a larger cast means friends and siblings can join in.
Whatever the age, the age range printed on each product page is the one to follow.
