Building your own toys
Building a toy with your child can be fun. However, it is your
responsibility to ensure the safety of the toy. Your home-made toy
should be safer than the product you can buy.
Two of the most important factor to consider in choosing the
materials to create a toy are:
- Non-toxicity - Toy finishes such as glue, paint and lacquer
should be non-toxic. Check the labelling concerning toxicity.
- Non-flammability - For some toys like dolls particulary on
clothing, hair and other loose toy parts, make sure that these
materials can not catch fire easily.
