Dear Santa:Letters from Jessica Chesser’s second-grade students at Hillcrest

Shopping for gifts for kids makes many shoppers nostal-gic for their own childhoods. Few adults can forget the joy of finding the perfect gift un-der the tree. Recreating that magic for a youngster can be as joyous for gift givers as it is for children. That’s especially so when shoppers make it a point to give safe, age-appropriate gifts.

Shoppers can keep these tips in mind to ensure they give toys that are as safe as they are fun.

• Speak to Mom and Dad first. When buying for chil-dren, shoppers should first ask Mom or Dad for sug-gestions. Parents will know which types of toys their children like, and they’ll also know the child’s level of ma-turity.

• Learn what to look for on labels. Toy labels are great sources of information, but shoppers must know what to look for. The Ameri-can Academy of Pediatrics notes that toy labels include information about age-ap-propriateness (i.e., “Ages 3

& Up”) as well as directions regarding how to use the toy. If the instructions seem a bit complex for the child the item will be for, look for something else. Children’s toy labels also include addi-

tional information that con-sumers may not be familiar with. For example, toys la-beled “ASTM F963” meet the latest safety standards from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

An “ASTM D4236” label indicates the materials asso-ciated with the art toy have been reviewed and deemed safe by a toxicologist.

• Avoid certain features. The AAP notes that toys that are loud, shoot objects into the air or contain small pieces pose a threat to chil-dren. Especially loud toys can damage children’s hear-ing, while projectiles can in-crease the risk of eye injuries or choking. Toys with small pieces also pose a choking risk to young children who may try to put the pieces into their mouths.

• Err on the side of cau-tion. Consumers who are uncertain about the safety of a given toy, even after read-ing its label, should err on the side of caution and only give toys they’re confident won’t pose a safety risk.

Shoppers must consider a host of factors when look-ing for safe toys for kids this holiday season.
