When looking to buy any kinds of organic baby toys for your child there are certain requirements that need to be met for them to be classed as such. Below we take you through some of these requirements that should hopefully help you when it comes to finding out whether the toy you want to purchase is an organic one or not.

If you are thinking of buying them a wooden toy then be wary if the description of the product says that it is natural. Although it may be made from wood the toy itself may not be organic, as chemicals have been used on it in order to bleach it so that it retains its natural look.

This is a reason why you should read the label or the box in which the toy comes very carefully. Look instead for wooden toys which not only have been made using sustainable wood but which have been made using only natural processes. This will then help to ensure that the toy at no stage during its manufacture will have come into contact with chemicals that can be harmful to your child as well as the environment.

Another thing to be aware of when buying a wooden toy is what paints have been used on it in order to decorate it. Those that are organic should be toys, which have paints made from only natural ingredients, pigments or colors. Often you will find on the label that the paint is being described as lead free and therefore is much safer for them to handle than others.

Although the cotton material on your child’s soft toy may be organic it is important that you find out what stuffing has been used inside it. There are some stuffing materials that could be hazardous to your child’s health, as they have been made using chemicals, which can be absorbed through the material covering them into your child’s skin. Ideally look for those toys that have been made using all natural cotton in them.
