This month is the season of special holidays and celebrations. This month is about giving gifts to your family and friends. It’s also about giving gifts to your significant other. Lastly, it is about parents giving gifts to their children. However, it is essential that safety is the number one priority for gifts given to children. It is important to safely give toys to children. In general, gift giving safety is a serious matter. Sometimes it is a good thing to be overly cautious when giving and even receiving gifts. It is essential to prioritize safety for children to avoid lawsuits and legal consequences. There are lots of toys that are age appropriate regarding safety and choking hazards.

For infants and toddlers, small toys may present choking hazards. If parents want to give their little ones gifts, wooden toys are the best option since they are not toxic; they do not contain chemicals. However, it is best not to give them small wooden toys that can present choking hazards. Skip Hop toys are more suitable for infants and toddlers. Barbie dolls and Hot Wheels are not suitable for infants and toddlers until they are older because they can contain small parts.

It is important to read the safety hazard labels and instructions before giving gifts to children. Parents should proceed with caution and keep an eye on their little girls who are playing with Barbie dolls with small accessories. The same thing applies for their little boys with Hot Wheels and similar toys. Importantly, parents must be responsible for their own risks if they decide to give their children a toy gun for Christmas. Toy guns can be played around with in a malicious way.

Toys must be double checked for any damage or safety concerns before parents can give them to their children safely. Some toys can pose dangerous hazards with the possibility of eye accidents. This can be a serious matter as the damage can be irreparable. Parents, when choosing gifts for your children this holiday season, please make safety priority one!
