1. Don't choose "three no" products
When purchasing, first look at the packaging and choose products with complete labels. Check whether the following content is marked: the manufacturer's name, address, implementation standards, production date, shelf life, and applicable age of the regular manufacturer. In addition, if there is a warning that it is not suitable for children under 3 years old, you should strictly follow the applicable age when purchasing. Look at the material ingredients marked on the product. If it is marked with borax, there may be a risk of excessive migration of boron elements, so you need to be cautious when purchasing.
2. Look at the material: ensure edibility
When parents choose plasticine, they must avoid choosing materials containing industrial pigments and chemicals. They should choose approved materials such as flour and food pigments to ensure that the color is pure, non-toxic, and fully in line with international safety standards. Better quality plasticine will also contain salt, which helps maintain the quality of the product and prevent children from swallowing it.
3. Smell the smell
The baby's sense of smell is still relatively fragile. In order to avoid irritating the baby, the plasticine for the baby to play must have a light smell, and it is best to be fragrance-free and odorless. When buying, open the colored clay and clay products and smell them. If there is a particularly strong pungent smell and fragrance, do not buy them.
4. Feel the texture
Safe and high-quality plasticine has good adhesion. It will not stick to the baby's hands when playing, and it can be reused. When parents buy colored clay, they can press it hard with their fingers to see if it sticks to their hands, whether there are obvious fingerprints on the surface of the plasticine, and whether the fingers can feel oil? If there is none, it proves that the material is good.
5. Do not choose colored clay products with a long shelf life
Since colored clay is made of flour, some toy manufacturers will add a lot of preservatives during the manufacturing process to extend the shelf life. When parents buy colored clay, they should compare more and do not choose colored clay products with a long shelf life.
