Did you know that December is Safe Toys and Celebration Month?
From PTA Wellness Team: (From Prevent Blindness- https://preventblindness.org/safe-toy-checklist/)
Too often, accidents involving children and toys occur and may result in eye injuries. Each year, thousands of children ages 14 and younger suffered serious eye injuries, even blindness, from toys.
There are three important ways you can protect your child’s eyes from injuries while playing with toys:
Only buy toys meant for their age.
Show them how to use their toys safely.
Keep an eye on them when they play.
