As environmental issues have been raised around the world subject I wanted to address is the safety of toys for children. The production of most of our products has been outsourced to countries like China, Thailand and Taiwan. Many of these terms does not take much time, a danger to health, and is not a test of basic security back to the U.S.. However, they are still free, until people stop complaining or something happened and the government has soldto engage agencies.
It is partly a failure of our leaders who do not care or think it is important that they looked more closely. In any case we have to accept us as the safety of our children is very important to us. Most of the toys still in plastic, and are not only poorly trained our time at the end of their lives, end up in landfills, where they hurt the environment for a long time.
The main advantage of plastic toys andthat they are generally cheaper than the alternatives such as wooden toys. For some weird reason a lot of adults also think that these toys also last longer. Wooden toys are actually much eco-friendlier and are made out of natural materials that are not toxic to your child. Even if your children like to bite and chew on things, the only thing that wood will do is make their teeth and gums stronger. Plastic on the other hand is not safe to be put in the mouth for any reason. Wooden toys are rare, have been around for thousands of years, and people seem to grow more attached to them and remember them more fondly as they grow older.
Wooden toys are also safer as there aren't any edges or sharp points on them that can hurt a child. It is good to at least have a discussion about the difference and think about it. All of the electronics and more advanced toys are made out of plastic, so it makes sense to get as many of the wooden ones that you can as well to offset the damage created by such a waste of resources. I have never seen a well made high quality wooden toy break under the weight of a child which was in the process of experimenting riding on their toy train.
It is very hard to choose the right toys for your toddler, and I think that the wooden toys are a better way to feel good about your purchase decision. They will also allow for you to sleep better at night knowing that the toys are natural, healthy and much safer than its alternatives.
