Choose the appropriate toys
Age adaptation: Choose appropriate toys based on the child's age. Toy packaging usually indicates the appropriate age group based on the child's physical development, cognitive level, and safety factors. For example, children under the age of 3 may put small objects in their mouths, so it is important to avoid choosing toys with small parts to prevent choking from accidental ingestion.
Quality assurance: Purchase toys with qualified quality and safety certification, and avoid purchasing "three no" products. High quality toys are more guaranteed in terms of material, craftsmanship, and safety, and can be judged by checking whether the toy has a 3C certification mark.
Pre use inspection
Complete components: Before children play with toys, carefully check whether each component of the toy is complete, damaged, missing, or loose. If any parts of the toy are found to be damaged, they should be repaired or replaced in a timely manner to prevent children from getting injured by touching sharp edges or small parts during play.
Cleaning and hygiene: It is best to clean new toys before use, especially toys that may come into contact with children's mouths. Plush toys can be cleaned regularly, while plastic toys can be wiped with mild cleaning agents. For second-hand toys, it is even more important to thoroughly clean and disinfect them to prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses.
Playing environment
Space safety: Provide children with a spacious and safe playing space, avoid playing with toys in narrow or obstructed areas, and prevent children from falling or colliding with other objects during play and getting injured. At the same time, make sure there are no dangerous items around, such as knives, scissors, hot water bottles, etc.
Ground anti slip: If children play with toys indoors, they should pay attention to the anti slip of the ground. Especially when children play with toys that require walking or running, such as toy cars, skateboards, etc., non slip surfaces can reduce the risk of children slipping and getting injured.
Supervision of Play Process
Avoid playing alone: For younger children, parents or guardians should accompany them throughout the play and promptly identify and address any potential safety issues. Even older children need adult supervision when playing with toys that pose certain risks, such as roller skates, skateboards, etc.
Correct guidance on use: Teach children the correct methods of using toys to avoid danger caused by incorrect use. For example, when playing with toys such as bows and arrows, slingshots, etc., children should be taught how to operate them correctly and avoid pointing arrows or bullets at others; When playing with electric toys, it is important to teach children how to properly switch and charge them to prevent electric shock.
In addition, parents should regularly check the safety of toys and replace them with toys that are suitable for their age group as their children grow older. If safety hazards are found in toys, they should be immediately stopped from use and toy manufacturers or relevant organizations should be contacted for handling.
