Safety in Santa's Bag at College Station
A&M College Extension Service specialist Mrs. Eloise T. Johnson urges safety when selecting Christmas toys. She advises matching toys to age and development, avoiding sharp, flammable, or poison-painted items for toddlers, and preferring rubber, plastic, wood toys, or hollow blocks. For ages six to eight, electrical toys should bear Underwriters Laboratories certification and proper construction to prevent fire or shock. A designated toy storage place adds another safety layer.
