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.
