Q2: Which type of material is most suitable for making toys for a baby. Give two reasons.
Answers
Answer:
Wood or bamboo toys. Wooden playthings typically don’t contain any chemical-filled plastics. Bonus points if the wood is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), which means it came from a sustainably managed forest. Toys made from bamboo also don’t contribute to deforestation. Plus, their harvesting process creates little to no emissions, making them healthy toys for your baby and the planet. While these playthings aren’t plentiful in the big stores, specialty shops carry them, and they’re pretty easy to find online.
Organic cotton or hemp material. Conventional cotton is the most heavily sprayed crop in the world (and not what you want next to baby’s skin or mouth). Your little one’s lovey (and any other cloth critters) is a much safer baby toy if it’s made from insecticide-free fibers, the way organic materials are.
Explanation:
Children are much more sensitive to the effects of harmful chemicals, and babies especially tend to put things in their mouths. So, it is important that the toys we give our children are free of toxins. Plastic is the most popular choice of material for conventional toys.
