Category: Safe Toys
A safe toy is something you can play with without getting hurt or breaking things. That means: It’s soft or smooth and not sharp or pokey. It doesn’t need fire, knives, or strong glue. It won’t break into tiny pieces that could be swallowed. You can make it with help from a grown-up or on your own. It’s fun to play with again and again!
