Toddler wallets come in three types: learning/play, costume, and transitional. Learning/play wallets are made of plastic and help with hand coordination and counting. Costume wallets are for fun and may include popular cartoon characters. Transitional wallets are made of durable materials and teach children to use a real purse. They can be homemade or commercial.
Three main types of toddler wallets are available, including learning or play activities, costume wallets, and functional or transitional wallets. The function of each type is different, so parents and caregivers transition their children through the types of purses based on the child’s needs. Any of these types can be commercial or homemade.
Learning or play purses are among the first purses a child could have. They are often made of plastic. These versions are colorful with large handles and connectors. Manufacturers design these bags for the child to practice hand coordination and basic skills like counting. Some have computer chips that allow the bag to play music or say cute phrases, while others come with playback versions of items like lipstick or a mirror.
Toddler dress bags are made for slightly older children. These are not designed to teach anything and are just for fun. It is common for these bags to be soft, fluffy, or shiny, and may include images of popular cartoon characters. With these bags, young children often pretend they are princesses, pairing the bag with a dress and crown, but young children also use these bags to imitate anything a sitter might do with a real bag. One of a child’s favorite things to do with toddler dress bags is to use it as a “treasure” container, put any favorite small items in the bag and carry it around regularly.
Transitional toddler purses are designed to teach a child to use a real purse. They are usually made of more durable materials and are a bit more expensive as a result. The designs and prints are not as obviously geared towards children, although the size of the bag is kept small to fit small hands. Even though these purses are made to be used the way real purses are, most kids still use them to carry toys. Young children like to take these bags to the store with their caregivers, and some parents choose to give their young children play money in the bags.
Learning or play purses are usually made commercially, as they are made of plastic in many cases. However, a cloth version of this type of bag can be made by a caregiver for specific functions, such as giving the child something to practice zippers or buttons on. Caregivers can also create costume and transition purses for toddlers, especially if they want a personalized item. However, many parents are too busy or do not have the craft skills to do this, so caregivers sometimes prefer to spend a small amount on a pre-made bag. Some parents feel it’s important for their young children to have toddler designer handbags, so they shy away from the idea of making their own and purchase versions that easily compete with adult designer handbags on price.
