It's made of 3D printed plastic, and the blade isn't sharp enough to worry about it cutting your fingers. The blade is hidden in the scabbard when not in use, and with a flick of the blade when in use, it can be thrown out by gravity and inertia. This toy is also a toy that relieves anxiety and stress, and can be played with one hand and done with other things with the other.
But many parents have also questioned, is this toy really suitable for children to play? Some people have found through tests that although several radish knives are made of plastic, they are very hard at the point, and a little force can break through the white paper and stick into the apple.
Security hazards should be taken into account
Several elementary school teachers said that although it is a toy, it can be stabbed out like a knife, and subconsciously it will definitely stimulate children's sense of crime. When children run around with this sharp knife in recess, in case they fall or lose control and stab their classmates, the safety hazard is very great. When throwing and stabbing with a toy turnip knife forms a habit, then it is easy to hurt other students.
Experts said that playing with radish knives mainly through the hands can exercise children's finger dexterity, and also have a certain positive auxiliary effect on the development of the brain; Some turnip knives also have a luminous glow, which can increase the child's sense of fun and relieve stress.
However, for children who are younger and do not yet have a sense of safety, it may stimulate the child's violent tendencies and increase the risk that they will do the same when they get a real knife. When children play with turnip knives, it is best to have the supervision of adults.
"Knives" no matter what kind of material, are sharp weapons, it is recommended that children do not play with radish knives at school, parents should also tell their children that turnip knives may have risks, do not hold toys to do stabbing, stabping, chopping and other dangerous actions.
