Ten Steps To Fun and Safe Play
- Before shopping for toys,
consider the child's age, interests and abilities.
Be selective in your purchases.
- When shopping, read labels.
Look for age ranges and safety warnings.
- Be especially careful when
choosing toys for children under three. Select toys
that are free of small pieces (or pieces that separate
or can be broken off), are lightweight, have no sharp
edges or points and are non-toxic.
- At home, carefully read instructions
for assembly and use. Keep product literature in case
of future questions and complete warranty cards.
- Always remove and discard
all packaging from a toy before giving it to a baby
or small child.
- Consider the home environment
in which a child will play with a toy and younger
children who may be there. A toy intended for an older
child may be dangerous in the hands of a younger one.
- Supervise children when they
play and set good examples of safe play.
- Remind caregivers, including
grandparents, of play-related safety concerns.
- Choose a safe storage place
for toys.
