However, it is still a bit difficult for new mothers to choose a plush toy that is both safe and environmentally friendly from a wide range of products. The following is shared by Hongyuan Toys with some practical purchase suggestions, hoping to help novice mothers choose the ideal "playmate" for their children.
First, material safety is the primary consideration.

Filling investigation: The safe filling should be PP cotton or environmentally friendly fibers that have been rigorously tested, these materials are soft and non-toxic and odorless, and are not easy to breed bacteria and mites. Avoid plush toys that contain black-hearted cotton or other unidentified fillings to prevent potential threats to your child's health.
Detail accessory safety: Some plush toys will be equipped with buttons, eyes, nose and other small accessories, to ensure that these accessories are sewn securely, without sharp corners, to prevent children from swallowing or scratching. At the same time, these accessories also need to meet environmental standards and do not contain harmful elements such as lead and cadmium.

Edutainment: Some excellent plush toys can not only meet children's entertainment needs, but also play a certain educational role, such as letters, numbers shaped plush toys can help children cognitive learning, animal toys can let children understand various creatures in nature.
Finally, since plush toys tend to trap dirt and dirt, choosing a product that is machine washable or hand-washable will greatly reduce the cleaning burden for mothers. In addition, regular cleaning and drying can also effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria and ensure the safety and hygiene of toys.
