When children sweat a lot on their hands or have wounds on their hands, try not to play with soft clay toys to prevent borax components from migrating to the human body with sweat or through wounds.
Children should wash their hands promptly after using soft mud toys to prevent harmful substances remaining on their hands from ingesting into their bodies.

When buying toys
Be sure to put security first!
