How to Choose the Right Educational Toys
Summary:
Choosing the perfect educational toy for your child can be a rewarding experience for both you and your little one. Follow these guidelines to make the best choice.
Safety First
The most critical factor when selecting an educational toy is safety. Refer to the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) for safety standards, information, and lists of banned or recalled items. This should be your first step in researching any baby products.
Be cautious with second-hand toys as they might be damaged, incomplete, or lack safety details. Always inspect these toys thoroughly before allowing your child to use them.
Remember: You are your child's last line of defense. Always supervise, especially near water, even if it's shallow.
