How Do You Observe Safe Toys And Gifts Month?
• Read all tags that are attached to stuffed animals. Most of them are restricted to ages three and up. If you are giving it to a child that is an infant or under two, please be sure that the animal is smaller in height and “mass” than the child. • Look for safety precautions and warnings on the box. Toys, for example the “Easy Bake Oven” needs adult supervision and assistance with the cooking. Read all print if the gift is acceptable for the specific age group you are buying for. Pay very close attention if the gift has sharp edges. • Examine the pictures of toys on boxes, for example Legos may contain small pieces that a kid may place in their mouths. • Avoid getting anything that has excess string or cords, such as slingshots. Never consider BB guns as toys for kids. Inspect all gifts as children open them if the gift(s) are from someone outside the family, for example a neighbor or schoolmate.
