About

This webpage offers safe gift ideas for kids, emphasizing the importance of checking labels and accreditations on toys. Dr. Suhani Bhakta advises looking for "non-toxic" and "lead-free" labels, avoiding small parts that pose choking hazards, and steering clear of toys with screens for young children. It suggests age-appropriate gifts like rattles or teething toys for infants, large blocks or toy cars for toddlers, and picture books or tricycles for preschoolers. The goal is to help children learn while ensuring their safety.
