Choosing Toys and Games for School-Age Kids

• Construction sets
• Bikes or Skateboards (Don't forget the helmets)
• Art supplies
• Hobby and crafts materials, tool kits
• Battery powered electrical toys (with Underwriters Laboratory(UL) approval
• Dolls
• Sewing materials, beading or embroidery kits
• Sports equipment
• Camping equipment
• Dominoes, puzzles, board games
• Electronic games

Safety Considerations

Avoid:

• Shooting toys
• Fireworks
• Kites made of aluminized polyester film
• Broken Toys
• Poorly made sports equipment

Note:- Helmets and appropriate padding should always be used with bikes and skateboards.
- Chemistry sets, darts, air rifles and bows and arrows should only be used with parental supervision
- If you do buy a toy gun for a child, it should be brightly coloured so that it cannot possibly be mistaken for a real gun.
- Teach children to put their toys away when they have finished playing so that no-one trips over them
