Hi! I am Champ, the watchdog for ALL kid consumers in New York State.

My job is to make sure you all know about important safety tips to keep you safe when you are playing.

Have fun coloring and learning about toy safety!

________________________________

Only play with toys that your parent or adult guardian says are okay.

Never put toys or parts of toys in your mouth. Eat healthy and nutritious food instead!

Always wash your hands when you are done playing with toys.

Play with your toys the right way. If you are not sure how to play with a toy, ask an adult for instructions.

Never point toys that fly in the air at others.

Never put your toys near or in any electrical outlet.

Bring broken toys to an adult quickly so you do not get hurt on any sharp edges or parts.

Make sure you wear a helmet if you are using a ride-on toy like electric cars, skateboards or in-line skates. Helmets are cool!

If any of your toys have strings or rope attached, never put the rope or string around your neck. You can hurt yourself this way.

Make sure you pick up your toys when you are done playing with them so no one accidentally trips and falls over them.

Ask an adult to print out the Toy Inventory Check List so you can both fill it out. Go to www.nysconsumer.gov and look for my Kids‛ Page. Just click on the picture of the toy chest.

This will teach you all about recalled toys and how to make sure that all your toys at home are safe.
