Safe Toys and Gifts Month

December is Safe Toys & Gifts Month, an annual campaign that encourages parents, caregivers, and gift-givers to prioritise safety when purchasing toys and gifts, especially for children. With the holiday season in full swing, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of finding the perfect present, but ensuring that toys are safe and appropriate for the child’s age and developmental stage is crucial.

Injuries from unsafe toys are more common than many realize. From choking hazards to toxic materials, there are a number of risks associated with poorly made or unsuitable toys. This campaign highlights the importance of buying toys from reputable sources, reading safety labels, and avoiding items that could pose a danger to children, particularly those under the age of three.

Safe Toys & Gifts Month also provides helpful tips for parents and guardians, such as supervising playtime, keeping small parts out of reach, and regularly inspecting toys for damage. It reminds us that safety should be a priority in the fun of gift-giving, as toys can quickly become hazards if they aren’t chosen with care.

Additionally, the campaign encourages conversations about toy recalls and promotes awareness of how to report unsafe toys. Whether you’re shopping for a child or donating to a holiday toy drive, Safe Toys & Gifts Month is a reminder to always think about safety first.
