children's toys

Young ones' amusements

Children's toys are playthings designed for young people—dolls, balls, building blocks, stuffed animals, toy cars, and the like.

The phrase often appears in contexts of safety regulations, retail categories, or holiday shopping: The recall affected thousands of children's toys.

What qualifies as a children's toy versus an adult collectible or game can be ambiguous.
