Toys can be dangerous,
so shop carefully for
Christmas.
Home economists with
Ontario's Ministry of
Agriculture and Food
caution shoppers to
examine each toy
carefully, check in-
structions and visualize a
child playing with it.
A plaything that's
'perfect for an older child
could harm an infant. If
there is more than one
child in a household, be
sure a toy is safe for all.
All edges, corners and
surfaces should be
smooth and rounded.
Toys should be too
large to swallow, but not
large enough to hurt a
chi,4,d ifthey fall on him.
And they should be built
to take punishment
without breakinginto
pieces that could be
swallowed.
'toddlers like wheeled
toys but make sure the
wheels don't come off
easily.
We at Ball and Mutch Ltd. would like to take a
moment of your busy schedule during this holiday
season to remind you of our up -coming
Check that wooden toys
are fastened with screws,
not nails.
When buying rattles
and similar baby toys,
avoid thin plastic that
could splinter. Any
visible ball's or bells
should be too big to
swallow if, detached. All
eyes on stuffed toys
should be securely sewn.
As a final precaution,
show the child how to use
the toy, Make sure it
brings happiness, not
trouble. •
