In the choice of toys, modern-day parents tend to plump for educational or "IQ-building" toys. Building blocks, jigsaw puzzles and Lego can be found in almost every family home, and toy guns, Barbie dolls and toy cellular phones, which imitate the world of grownups, are equally ubiquitous.
在玩具的選擇上，崇尚知識的現代父母也偏向選擇「益智性」玩具，樂高遊戲、積木、拼圖… … 等，幾乎是家家必備；而模仿成人世界的芭比娃娃、大哥大行動電話、玩具手槍……，也隨處可見。
