By: Lindsay Fink and Konisha Beamesderfer How can we keep children entertained, but safe?

One to six months Teethers Bright pictures Pleasant facial expressions Rattles and musical toys Six to twelve months Baby books made of cardboard Pop – up boxes Bath toys Key rings

One to two years old Big balls for throwing and kicking Drawing and coloring books Push- pull toys Building blocks Dolls Play clothing Wagons Three to five years old Simple puzzles Card games Picture books Roller skates Construction toys Dolls and stuffed toys Sand and water toys

Always watch young children Don’t leave small toy pieces around young children Let kids play in the backyard, rather than the front yard Never let your child play with a toy that isn’t age appropriate for them Avoid toys that have large chords or strings attached Use a toy box so your toys aren’t laying around

“Oh girl, you know.” “What, What.” “Word.”

Playin’ wit sho kids, Prevents them from getting sids, Age appropriate toys, Preferably the ones that don’t make noise, Don’t always let them alone, Before you know it they’ll be grown, On small pieces they could choke, Or on things that have been broke, Playing creates an imagination, Like in the summer going on vacation, You better follow these rules, Or your gonna look like FOOLS!
