Does your child love bright neon toys? It's time to check their safety.
Soft toys
Soft teddy bears and dolls with synthetic filling often contain formaldehyde, a substance that causes headaches and angry outbursts.
Interactive toys
And interactive toys with robot or animal sounds overload the nervous system, making children hyperactive.
The most dangerous
The most dangerous ones are kits for experiments with “slime” and magnetic sand.
They contain boric acid and small magnets that stick together in the intestines when swallowed.
What about construction sets with small parts? Not only are they dangerous if swallowed, but they also form “clip thinking” in a child – he loses the ability to concentrate on one task.
What should a child play with then?
Replace them with wooden puzzles, clay, or coloring books with natural dyes.
And always wash new toys in soapy water before using them - they are often coated with toxic varnish to make them shine.
Choose large blocks and sets for role-playing games: doll houses, doctor sets. They develop imagination and social skills.
And one more piece of advice
Don't buy toys with button batteries. If a child swallows them, it will cause a chemical burn.
Check safety certificates and look for the “BPA-free” label - this guarantees the absence of toxins.
