How to Choose Safe, Non-Toxic Toys for Toddlers

As parents, nothing matters more than keeping our little ones safe — especially when it comes to the toys they play with every day. Toddlers explore the world with their hands and mouths, which means the materials in their toys matter enormously.

What to Look For

  • Non-toxic materials — Look for toys made from BPA-free plastics, natural wood, or organic fabrics. Avoid toys with strong chemical smells.
  • Age-appropriate design — Always check the recommended age range. Toys with small parts pose choking hazards for children under 3.
  • Certifications — Look for ASTM F963 (US toy safety standard) or EN71 (European standard) certifications on packaging.
  • Smooth edges and durable construction — Toddlers are rough on toys. Make sure there are no sharp edges or parts that can easily break off.

What to Avoid

  • Toys with excessive small magnets
  • Toys painted with unknown or unverified paints
  • Cheap imports without safety certifications
