Holiday Toy Safety

• For children under 3, avoid toys with small parts, which can cause choking.
• Select toys to suit the age, abilities, skills and interest level of the intended child.
• For children under 8, avoid toys with sharp edges and electric toys with heating parts.
• Look for labels indicating age and safety advice.
When it comes to choosing toys, sometimes it’s best to go with a name you know. Look for manufacturers who are well known in the toy business.
Safe storage is important as well. A toy or game with small pieces may be appropriate for an older child, but store it away from the younger ones.
