While all toys are suitable for adults and many adults will love to engage and play with their children, not all toys are suitable for all children. Most companies give a recommended age, limit, or range on their toys. These are provided to ensure that the toy is being used safely according to the child’s age.
Even though most toys are suitable for a wide range of ages, some toys are better kept to their age-specific category. A baby cannot be expected to play a game of catch and an older child may not appreciate molding sand all day.
Along with the age recommendations, some toys may include parts that are too small for some children. Toys that are too small will pose as a choking hazard for children who are prone to putting things in their mouths. Most children who shove objects in their mouths fall in the toddler age range.
Toys that present a choking hazard will be properly labeled and clearly state age. However, if you have a small child, it’s best to ensure that they are supervised when they play.
