A lot of department stores have hard to find toys that are sought after by hobbyists and collectors. Their prices are also relatively cheaper compared to toy stores.

When shopping for toys, keep in mind the safety of your child. Here are some tips to help you choose a safe toy for the young ones (and the young at heart):

1) Always read the label before buying the product. Warning labels provide important information about how to use a toy and what ages the toy is safe for.

2) Make sure that the toy is larger than the child’s mouth to prevent choking. The label should help you identify whether the toy is a choking hazard.

3) Go for toys that are “non-toxic” or BPA-Free. Whether its a box of crayons or an action figure, avoid toys that contain toxic materials.

4) Avoid hobby kits for children below 12 years old. These kits may contain hazardous material or will require the use of tools that are dangerous, such as craft knives or cement glue.

5) Be sure to show your child how to use and play with the toys appropriately. Adult supervision is a must when introducing any toy to a child.
