I. The core advantages of silicone toys
High safety
Non-toxic and harmless: Food-grade silicone (compliant with international certifications such as FDA and LFGB) does not contain harmful substances such as BPA and phthalates, and does not release toxicity even if the baby bites it.
High temperature resistance: It can withstand high temperatures of -40℃~230℃, support boiling, steam or ultraviolet disinfection, and avoid bacterial growth.
Physical safety: soft texture, good elasticity, smooth edges without burrs, reducing the risk of scratches or bumps.
Durable and easy to maintain
Tear-resistant, aging-resistant, not easy to deform or fade, long service life.
The surface is hydrophobic and oleophobic, and stains are easy to clean (even dishwasher-safe).
Diversified functions
Sensory stimulation: suitable for making teethers, tactile balls, etc. to meet the needs of the oral stage.
Early childhood design: numbers, letters or three-dimensional patterns can be embedded as cognitive enlightenment tools.
Rich colors: color adjustment through safe dyes to attract children’s attention.
Environmentally friendly
Recyclable materials, no microplastics after degradation, more environmentally friendly than ordinary plastics.
II. Applicable scenarios and age groups
0~2 years old: teethers, rattles, bath toys (silicone does not mold when exposed to water).
3~6 years old: puzzle toys, silicone building blocks (anti-fall and silent).
Special needs: Children with allergic constitutions can choose medical-grade silicone toys.
III. Purchase and use precautions
Certification standards: Look for safety certifications such as FDA, EN71 (EU), GB 6675 (China).
Quality identification: high-quality silicone has no pungent smell, good stretching and rebound performance, and white ash after burning (inferior products will turn black and smoke).
Cleaning suggestions: avoid using sharp tools to scrub to prevent surface damage.
Regular inspection: check for aging cracks after long-term use and replace them in time.
