Hello everyone, I'm Cuckoo Mama~
When my girlfriend chatted with me, she said something that made people cry and laugh:
The girlfriend bought a doll for her 4-year-old daughter. The doll is delicate and beautiful, with thick and smooth hair, big eyes, long eyelashes, and a small mouth. Moreover, this doll has a button on it, and with one click, she will speak.
Little girls are born with dolls, especially beautiful dolls. After receiving this toy, my daughter loved it and held it in her arms every day, no matter where she went.
On this day, the girlfriend was sleeping soundly, and was suddenly awakened by the scream of her daughter, and then heard a panicked knock at the door. The girlfriend opened the door and looked at it, only to see her daughter standing outside the door crying and shouting: "Mom, the doll is smiling at me, I am afraid!" ”
It turned out that the daughter liked this doll too much and slept with her at night. As a result, as soon as she accidentally touched the button, the doll laughed to herself and smiled at her daughter with a "hey hey" smile. During the day, children will find it fun, but in the middle of the night, the sound is not friendly at all.
The daughter was really frightened, and she had to throw away the doll and did not want to sleep alone.
Frightened by toys, Cuckoo's mother has also had such an experience. Those cute, plush toys are fine, even if they look at it at night, they don't feel anything. But if you wake up in the middle of the night and see a doll with delicate makeup and a pair of big eyes staring directly at you in the dark, it feels really scary.
Therefore, when we buy toys for children, we should still pay more attention, try to buy those toys that look more kind and safe, and do not buy harmful toys.
For example, the following toys, parents still do not buy for their children.
1: Net red balloon (Bobo ball)
On the streets at night, I really feel beautiful when I see those colorful blobs of boboballs. I think both adults and children can't help but be moved when they see such a beautiful balloon. But what we don't know is that the small balloon hides a big hidden danger.
Anyone who has played with balloons knows that when we inflate the balloons, ordinary balloons do not levitate. Even when supported with a stick, it will fall down by gravity.
And this wave ball, supported by a stick, stands upright. The density of the gas inside it must be smaller than that of air. Such toy balloons are usually filled with hydrogen.
When Cuckoo's mother used to take chemistry class, the teacher told us: "Hydrogen is flammable and explosive. ”
If this kind of balloon accidentally comes into contact with a heat source (such as a cigarette butt), or the LED light strip decorated with this balloon is short-circuited, it may cause an explosion. When the balloon explodes, it instantly turns into a fireball that releases high heat, thus burning people nearby. The balloon burns a dripping plastic liquid that can also cause severe burns if it sticks to the skin.
Therefore, when children want to play with such toys, we had better stop it and replace it with other shiny toys.
Two: laser pointer
Laser pointers are a good guidance tool when used as teaching aids. When the teacher lectures or lectures in a meeting, with a laser pointer, everyone can see where the focus is. But if the laser pointer becomes a child's toy, the harm is not small.
Laser focus is strong, if you hold the pen for a long time to focus on a certain point, it will produce a thermal effect. Especially when children find it fun and focus on flammable things, it is easy to attract danger.
There is also the fact that if the child does not know the weight, taking a laser pointer to illuminate the eyes will bring great harm.
In the "Protection of Children's Eye Product Quality and Safety Cognition" survey, the laser pointer was ranked first in the children's safety hazard toys. It can be seen that the harm of laser pointer is not small.
There was once a little boy in Ningbo who went blind in both eyes because he played with laser pointers. The infrared rays emitted by the laser pointer are relatively powerful, and if the retina is focused, it will cause irreversible damage to the eyes.
Someone once did an experiment focusing on an 8-layer thick newspaper with a laser pointer, and the result was that in less than 20 seconds, the newspaper was broken through a hole. It can be seen how much harm it will bring when it focuses on the skin or facial features.
Three: Toothpick crossbow
This type of toy, boys may prefer to play.
The toothpick crossbow is a small bow and arrow, pulling a string, the toothpick is fired like an arrow. This small toothpick crossbow has no problem penetrating fruit and paper, but if it is aimed at people, the harm is great.
The toothpick is already pointed at both ends, and if you add another force to launch outward, its penetration will be very strong. Someone has done experiments by shooting balloons with a toothpick crossbow, and even if there is thick cardboard in the middle, the toothpick still easily pierces the balloon.
It is okay to play with toothpick crossbows against objects, but if it accidentally falls on a person, it is a big hidden danger. So don't let the little ones play with this toy, it's too dangerous!
Four: Water Baby
The water baby is colorful, swells when it meets the water, like a stained water droplet, very beautiful. I think there must be a lot of children who have played with this toy.
The water baby itself is not much harm, and even pinched in the hand is still cute. But the problem is that it is more confusing.
Because of the colorful and soft and beautiful, it is easy to mistake people for candy. There was once a mother who mistakenly took the water baby as candy for her daughter to eat. When she tried to stop her daughter, she found that she had already eaten more than two hundred.
Before the expansion, the water baby was only 3mm in diameter and weighed 0.02g. After soaking in water, its weight can reach more than 2g, which is 100 times the original!
If this little water baby swallows it in the stomach and then encounters water swelling, what will be the consequences? Can't believe it!
Little water babies, sometimes even adults can't tell the difference, let alone children? Children like to eat sugar, and when they see water babies, they will inevitably eat it as candy.
If the child has to play, play under our supervision. We must always pay attention not to let the child swallow the water baby in the mouth, and the excess water baby is thrown away as much as possible, and do not throw it in a corner at random, so as not to be picked up by the child.
Cuckoo Mom said:
When we choose toys for children, we still have to adhere to certain principles and pay attention to whether there are safety hazards. We can see if the toy has the "CCC" certification mark. If there is, it means that the toy has been certified and tested and is relatively safe.
Also look at the warnings on the toy packaging, look at the precautions, and see how old the child fits to play. We should not be careless with this information.
In addition, those items that obviously look like safety hazards, such as sharp and sharp objects, are still cautious. Children only care about playing, and they don't care much about these, which requires us to be parents' good checks and pay more attention.
What other toys do you think are more dangerous? Welcome to share ~
