Good toy parking garages should be durable, easy to set up and use, include a large number of cars (ideal for team play) and ideally have an educational component. While the timeless classic, Hot Wheels, features a number of times on this list, there are lots of other great brands selling toy garages that you should definitely consider.

Children benefit from social pretend play because it can help them to revisit events that may have provoked some anxiety in the past. For instance, after a visit to the doctors children often play at being doctors and nurses. Role play not only reflects but also contributes to children’s cognitive and social skills. Playing out an experience enables children to understand more about it.
