Making toys at home/safety

Store bought toys generally go through safety testing so when you make things at home you need to make sure that you safety test them yourself.

Some things to consider
- make sure there is no part to small that could be easily swallowed or choked on.
- ensure any strings or ties could not get caught around a babies neck causing a strangulation hazard.
- if using paints or glues make sure they are non toxic.
- always monitor the condition of the toys and remove them from use immediately if you have any doubt about their safety.
- use your own common sense and motherly/fatherly practises.  I am not a safety expert so make these toys with your own judgement.
