Toy Safety

A toy that is age appropriate for one child, might not be for another. For example, arts and craft supplies might be age appropriate for 6–9-year-old children, but small parts to these craft supplies are a choking hazard to a toddler. This is helpful to remind expectant parents who might already have an older child in the home, babysitters (especially younger babysitters), and shoppers regarding age-appropriate toys.

The toy safety guide are pages that include recommendations on the types of toys that are safe and promote learning. Additional educational materials on toy safety are available for download below.
