The holidays are filled with anticipation of gifts and new toys. When making decisions for selecting new toys, parents need to tell Santa and loved ones to pick eye-safe and age appropriate toys for children.
So, in general, what toys should parents avoid? Toys with pointed , sharp or rough edges or pieces. Beware of long handled toys, like mops, brooms, pony sticks and rakes. Check to make sure that they have rounded handles and watch closely children under 2 with such toys.
Avoid slingshots, dart guns and arrows for children under 6. Ideally, these toys should be avoided completely, especially when there are younger children in the house because they have the potential to be harmful.
Great toys for children are those that stimulate visual development, improve hand-eye coordination and demonstrate spatial relationships.
Happy Holidays and Happy Shopping!
