When choosing toys for young children, safety is always the top priority. Whether it’s a soft plush, an activity book, or a bedtime accessory, it’s important to know what to look for — and what to avoid.
At SNUGSHINE, we design every product with love, care, and the well-being of little ones in mind. From our glow-in-the-dark plush toys to our bedtime book and torch sets, we follow strict safety standards every step of the way.
If you’re looking for safe toys for children, here are a few key guidelines to help you make confident choices.
1. Check the Age Recommendation
Always choose toys that are appropriate for the child’s age. Most reputable brands include a clear age range — and it’s more than just a suggestion. For example, toys with small parts may pose a choking hazard for children under 3.
All SNUGSHINE products include age guidance. Our Glimmer the Glowing Unicorn Plush Gift Set is recommended for ages 3 and up.
2. Look for Non-Toxic, High-Quality Materials
Safe toys for children should be made from non-toxic materials that are gentle on sensitive skin. Plush toys should be free from loose fibres or parts, and books or printed materials should use child-safe inks.
Our Glimmer plush toys are made with soft, child-friendly fabrics and are independently tested to meet global safety standards in both the UK and USA.
3. Be Transparent About Battery-Operated Toys
Battery-powered toys can be both fun and safe — as long as they are made responsibly and used under adult supervision.
Our flashlight torch projector is one such toy. It allows children to project images from our books onto the ceiling or wall, creating a magical storytelling moment. The torch contains small parts (including button batteries and discs), and while it’s fully safety-tested, we clearly label it with a choking hazard warning.
Transparency is key. Parents deserve to know exactly what’s included and how to use it safely and we’re committed to making that information easy to find.
4. Choose Toys That Are Easy to Clean
Preschoolers love to snuggle, squeeze, and sometimes even chew on their toys which is why easy-to-clean materials are a must.
Our Glimmer the Glowing Unicorn plush is spot-cleanable with a damp cloth, and all printed accessories are designed to withstand real-life use; bedtime cuddles, spills, and all.
5. Support Emotional Safety, Too
Toy safety isn’t just about avoiding hazards it’s also about supporting a child’s emotional development.
Our mission at SNUGSHINE is to help children feel calm, brave, and confident especially at bedtime. Whether it’s through the soft glow of a plush friend or the gentle storytelling of a unicorn adventure, we design products that encourage screen-free connection and peaceful routines.
When It Comes to Safe Toys for Children, Trust Matters
Choosing safe toys means choosing products that are age-appropriate, well-made, clearly labelled, and emotionally supportive.
