December is Safe Toys and Gifts Month!

Let's keep our kiddos safe this holiday season!

10 Toy Buying Tips for the holiday season and throughout the year:

  • Read the label. Warning labels give important information about how to use a toy and what ages the toy is safe for. Be sure to show your child how to use the toy the right way.
  • Think LARGE. Make sure all toys and parts are larger than your child’s mouth to prevent choking.
  • Avoid toys that shoot objects into the air. They can cause serious eye injuries or choking.
  • Avoid toys that are loud to prevent damage to your child’s hearing.
  • Look for stuffed toys that are well made. Make sure all the parts are on tight and seams and edges are secure. It should also be machine washable. Take off any loose ribbons or strings to avoid strangulation. Avoid toys that have small bean-like pellets or stuffing that can cause choking or suffocation if swallowed.
  • Buy plastic toys that are sturdy. Toys made from thin plastic may break easily.
  • Avoid toys with toxic materials that could cause poisoning​​​. Make sure the label says “nontoxic.”
  • Avoid hobby kits and chemistry sets for any child younger than 12 years.
  • Electric toys should be “UL Approved.” Check the label to be sure.
  • Be careful when buying crib toys. Soft objects, loose bedding, or any objects that could increase the risk of entrapment, suffocation, or strangulation should be kept out of the crib.
