S3 4 HEPPNER GAZETTE -TIMES, Thursday, December 6, 1962 Your Home Agent Age, Safety Factors In Selection of Toys By ESTHER KIRMIS With Santa Claus breathing down our neck these days we begin scratching our heads about what to give the kiddies for Christmas. What are the best kinds of toys to buy for child ren? According to the article in the December "Good Housekeep ing" authorities say that the primary consideration should be given to the child's age and to toys which are not dangerous for him to handle. Experts concerned with the safety and creative use of toys suggest these general rules to be followed in selecting toys for different age groups. Infants: Babies under one like things with bright colors, shapes they can explore and textures they can feel. Such toys Include stuffed animals and dolls, squeek toys, sturdy rattles, balls and even nonbreakable cups or other smooth objects. Infants chew, drop and bang these toys. There fore, they should be washable, non-breakable and have no sharp edges. One to Two: A child now in vestigates things around him. Like infants, toddlers put al most everything into t h e 1 r mouths. Playthings that can be taken apart and put together easily (such as nests of blocks or boxes), pogboards and push pull toys are suitable. Stuffed animals and dolls, bath toys, blocks with round corners, a sandbox with digging toys, small chair and table and small wheel toys are also fine. Two to Three: These children are more experimental. Things which lo build and toys that can be shared are desirable. These include building blocks, wooden animals, kiddie cars or tri cycles, finger paints made from fruit or vegetable coloring, mod eling clay, cars and wagons, wheelbarrows, rocking horses, picture books and crayons. Itid inc tovs should be low and tip- proof. Be sure toys are not sharp or pointed. Three to Four: This is an imi talive age.Toys which encourage make-believe aid in learning Toys should be sturdy. In this group are small brooms, doctor's or nurses kit, toy ensues, paini ine sets and construction toys. For general fun, a wading pool may be useful in warm weather but water should be shallow ami nlav sunervised at all times, IONE Mondays, Saturdays HEP FN El I mm calls Jor s JM IN LOIS' BEAUTY SHOP la .H .!
