Buying beautiful yet safe toys for children's is a tricky task. These days markets are stuffed with different kind of playing toys and accessories. You can buy toys online as well, but the main thing is how to pick the right toys for kids.
Many parents don't think twice before choosing the toys for kids. Here are few tips which can be considered before buying toys.
The first thing which is most important also is that one must buy toys according to the age of the child. If you have toddler you need to buy different toys and for a teenager it would be of other kind. One must consider the shape, size of the toy if you are buying it for a toddler but for grown up kids you can pick small toys such a fidget spinner which can enhance mental ability.
Before buying toys for toddlers you need to be extra careful. The toys should not be very small in size and they should not have sharp edges. Small kids take everything in their mouth, if you give them small size toys to play, they can swallow it or can put the toy in nose or ear as well. Many big size rubber toys and rattles are available which are safe and colorful too.
Toys come in plastic covering, always remove the plastic and then give it to the child to play. Small children can suffocate themselves in plastic if they put their head in plastic wraps. There are many cases recorded where child had suffocated due to plastic cover.
People think soft toys are always safe but it is not true. Soft toys are very colorful and good but if you don't wash them properly then they can contain lot of allergies and bacteria inside. You need to wash them regularly and then dry them, furry toys should be avoided for toddlers. My own child was allergic and the doctor asked me to keep all stuffed toys in separate place. As these soft toys can be the source of allergy and infectious.
If you are buying toys for small kids then read the label carefully. It should be made of non toxic material, it should not be detachable or not with magnets in it. You can buy big size toys of various shape and colors.
Children's bath tub toys like squeaky ducks should also be cleaned regularly. As they can collect many germs in them.
For young children also you should read the instruction given on the label before buying the toy. I must write here one particular bow and arrow or gun toys which should be avoided as some arrows are shard and can hurt your charge badly.
Either its for a teenager or for a young child you should take toys which can give them fun and learning too. Rubic puzzle, mind challenging games, writing board, learning laptop there are many great learning toys available.
I have heard many cases of child injury due to wrong selection of toys. Many small children choke due to taking small toy pieces in their mouth. Toys are fun for kids but the parents should buy them toys carefully.
