December is the time of the year when the bright red and green Christmas decorations come out into the open and the images of Santa deck up malls, homes and shopping centers. Holiday season fun and activities at its peak, the month of December is also Safe Toys And Gifts Awareness Month. So if you are a planning a promotional campaign for kids brands or products, it will be the time to choose gifts that appeal to them but also move on to the next person, get talked about and make delightful conversation topics.
Holiday shopping could be a hectic and often chaotic task for families as people strive to find the right gift. In this melee, often most people overlook the safety aspects of the toys.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimates that every year children suffer injuries sometimes , grievously caused by unsafe toys ( in 2012, 260,000 Children were injured in Toy-Related Accidents). Nearly half of the accidents affected facial or eye injuries, which prompted the organization of Prevent Blindness America to declare December as Safe Toys and Gifts Awareness Month.
Here are some of the tips that will help marketers and parents to shop for safe toys during Christmas season.
- Choose toys that are appropriate for the child’s age and developmental level.
- Toys with small detachable parts are not suited for children. Battery operated toys could pose choking hazards and can be toxic. For kids under the age of 3 any piece that can pass through a toilet paper roll is considered unsafe.
- Pick up durable toys without any shaped edges.
- Make sure that the toys you buy meet the American Society for Testing and Materials standards.
- Gift givers should keep an eye on the list of recalled toys and try to avoid those items
- Whether you are a marketer shopping for your little patrons or looking for Christmas party favors, think about these safety tips before buying toy gifts.
