Toys are fun and they help children learn about themselves. When buying
toys for your children, it is important to do so with care. Hi, this is
Dr. Dittberner from the Alexandria Clinic. And we want to help ensure
safe playtime for your children.
Before shopping for toys, consider the child's age, interests and
abilities. When shopping, read labels, look for age ranges and safety
warnings. Be especially care when choosing toys for children under the
age of three. Select toys that are free of small pieces, are
lightweight, have no sharp edges or points, are non-toxic and are free
of long cords or strings.
At home, carefully read instructions for assembly and use. Keep product
literature in case of future questions and complete warranty cards.
Finally, and most importantly, supervise children when they play and set
good examples of safe play for them. You can make playtime a safe and
rewarding experience for kids. If you have questions regarding toy
safety, please contact your primary care provider at the Alexandria
Clinic.
