Results and Suggestions
If your answers are mostly A's, your child is an independent player. Choose toys that encourage self-challenge and individual creativity; puzzles and single-use art, craft, or science kits are good choices.
If your answers were mostly B's, your child seeks out the social stimulation of peer play. Consider activity sets and toys that encourage sharing or team play.
If your answers are a mix of both A's and B's, your child has a creative streak. Look for toys that encourage make-believe and role-playing situations.
