Toys - Recall - Which Ones Are Safe?

The news has been filled with dangerous toys. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission list is so long I have given up on trying to research the reason for each recall. I do know that the vast majority of toys come from China.

Toy Info.org is a website that is sponsored by the US Toy Industry to help inform parents about the recalled toys. Kids Health.org is another resource for finding safe toys for your children. About.com has a complete guide to help choose toys by age range.

Call me a bit old fashion, but what has happen to wooden building blocks, and Legos? These are the toys that have been around through many generations. They have been proven safe, entertaining and educational.

Considering that this is going to be tight Christmas on many families pocket book. Going back to the basics may be a good move.
