🎁 Keep Your Kids Safe This Holiday Season!
When choosing gifts, make sure toys match your child’s age, skills, and abilities to keep playtime fun and safe.

Here are some important safe gift-giving tips for children of all ages:
❌ Avoid choking hazards: Stay away from toys with small parts, pieces that break easily, magnets, or “button” batteries.

🕵️‍♂️ Inspect before you buy: Check for sharp edges and choose “non-toxic” crayons and markers.
