This segment includes infants, toddlers, and preschoolers who benefit from educational toys that enhance cognitive skills, motor development, and social interaction. Popular products in this category are building blocks, plush toys, and interactive games featuring beloved characters from television and movies. The demand for these toys is driven by parents seeking to provide enriching play experiences for their children. This age group represents a significant portion of toy sales in Mexico, as parents are willing to invest in products that support their children’s growth and learning. In the 9-15 years segment, the focus shifts towards more complex toys and games that cater to older children’s interests and developmental needs.
