Happy Children‘s Day

Tomorrow is June 1st International Children‘s Day, and choosing a sincere and fulfilling gift for your child has become a big challenge for many parents. However, there is a gift that both boys and girls, as well as children and adults, will definitely love. LEGO toys are the right choice, and every little and big player can fully explore the "big world" full of infinite possibilities in the fun. When it comes to LEGO, many people question why a plastic toy is so expensive. There are dozens or even tens of yuan on a certain treasure, and these so-called "flat replacement" gifts are also fun for children. Why pay a higher price to buy them?

Here, the editor reminds everyone that the material of plastic toys is very important, and never try to buy substandard products at a low price.

I don‘t know if you have noticed that children‘s toys are generally more expensive, suitable for younger or even more expensive age groups, including various plastic toys. The material selection and precautions for plastic children‘s toys have also been mentioned in previous articles (are colorful plastic toys for babies really safe?), and the reason why LEGO is relatively expensive is not only due to the high value of the brand itself, but also due to its excellent workmanship and food grade ABS materials. This material is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and harmless, with high strength, impact resistance, low toxicity, and easy processing characteristics, Widely used in the manufacturing of luggage, household appliances, and electronic products, LEGO can be considered the most well-known application of ABS. However, plastic toys have always been made of plastic. In order to promote ecological and sustainable development, LEGO has begun to try to eliminate the use of disposable plastic packaging and invest in more environmentally friendly alternative materials to make plastic toys. This includes using plant-based plastic to make toy trees and shrubs in 2018, as well as building blocks made from discarded PET water bottles. At present, it will take some time for bricks made from recycled materials to appear on shelves and in LEGO products in stores. However, with the development and improvement of technology, the probability and proportion of recycled materials appearing in children‘s toys will also increase.

Typical products

Application direction

The product is suitable for downstream deep processing modification granulation, extrusion molding, injection molding, and can be widely used in various product parts such as household appliances, electrical appliances, automobiles, packaging, daily chemical products, etc.

 There are various types of toy products with age specific characteristics, and there are also various materials such as plastic, metal, and wood. It is important to remind everyone that when purchasing children‘s toys, in addition to considering factors such as brand, price, and fun, the following issues should also be considered:

1. Do not purchase toys without Chinese labels indicating product name, factory name, address, and inspection certificate. Plastic toys belong to the scope of mandatory product certification, and the product or packaging should be marked with the "CCC" mark.
2. Look at the applicable age. Select suitable toys based on the nominal age range of plastic toys and the age of the child.
3. When selecting toys, it is necessary to purchase them with clean materials, no sharp edges or burrs, high glossiness, firm component assembly, and no sharp protruding parts. For example, when purchasing a motorized plastic toy car, the wheels should be securely assembled and the driving mechanism should be closed.
4. Some plastic toys are prone to residual monomers and organic solvents, especially soft rubber toys such as climbing pads and small yellow ducks. These substances often have certain toxicity and can be easily inhaled by children during play. You can smell them when purchasing. If the odor is large and irritating, try not to buy them.
5. Look at the projectile. When choosing ejection plastic toys, it is important to choose toys with larger ejection volumes, softer protective end materials, and slower launch speeds. Be cautious in choosing products such as toothpick crossbows, steel ball crossbows, pocket slingshots, and "chicken eating toys".
6. Look at the magnetic components. When choosing plastic toys that contain magnetic components, be careful to choose products that contain smaller magnetic components and have strong magnetic force (which can still attract through 3 or more A4 sheets of paper).
7. Check the production date. When purchasing colored clay set toys with plastic molds, attention should be paid to their production date and shelf life, and expired products should not be purchased.

Finally, I wish all children and friends a childlike smile and never grow old!
