- Become a label reader. Look at recommended ages and safety warnings.
- Be sure that toys that require to be assembled are put together correctly and all pieces/screws are tightened.
- Forget the toy just give him the box! This is so true with little children, they love boxes. But beware of plastic wrapping,staples and loose parts left in the boxes.
- Keep toys for older children out of reach of younger children.
- Always check toys for worn,broken or loose parts.
- Teach your toddler to clean up when done playing. Not only will this make your life easier but could prevent falls and other injuries.
- Adult supervision when your child is playing is always a safety suggestion.
- Never allow small children to play with balloons. Deflated balloons are easily swallowed and difficult to remove.
