4.5 Play equipment – toys
Toys should comply with AS/NZS ISO 8142 where applicable. Educators must give consideration to the safety and age-appropriateness of all toys. Recommended safe practices include:
(a) Storing any toy or item of play equipment that contains sharp edges, sharp points or hooks, splintery surfaces, parts that crush or which has heavy moving parts, or which is capable of launching projectiles, or is damaged out of reach of young children.
(b) Ensuring that items used for toy storage do not have lids that could crush or entrap a child.
(c) Ensuring that toys or other play equipment do not contain toxic material
