Choosing Safe Toys for Preschoolers: Here are tips to help you choose safe toys for your preschooler:

  • Check the Labels You should always check the labels in toys about the age group that they are meant for. Toy manufacturers provide guidelines as well. This is to ensure that parents select the right toy for children of a specific age.

  • Choose Lead-Free Painted Toys You should make sure that you choose toys that have lead-free paint on them because children are likely to put toys in their mouth. Again, there will most likely be a label that says that all the paint used in the toy does not contain lead or other harmful substances.

  • Keep Loud Toys Awaytoddler playing with soft toy Toys that are musical or electronic can produce a lot of noise. It is important to choose those that have volumes that can be adjusted or are not too loud. Children will often put their play things close to their ears, especially musical ones. This can cause hearing loss or other damage to the ears.

  • Pick Washable Soft Toys When you are buying stuffed toys; make sure that the label states that the toy can be washed. Children play with toys on floors and get dirt, grime, etc. on them. It is important to make sure that your little one’s soft toys are clean and safe from germs, bacteria, etc.
