    Babies have a lot of energy. If you have a baby,
    you know that they are always moving and
    exploring their surroundings. Of course, you want
    to give your baby a comfortable environment to
    explore, but you also want to protect them from
    injury. In this article, we'll take a look at the
    most common items your baby can hurt themselves
    on.

Can toddlers use glitter?
  • As we all know, glitter is bad for the
    environment. It's non-biodegradable, and it's
    often found polluting our waterways and oceans.
    So, what can we use instead of glitter?
  • In this article, we'll explore some of the
    alternative options that are available to us.
    We'll look at both natural and man-made
    materials, and we'll discuss the pros and cons of
    each option.
  • Natural Materials
  • Tulle is a great alternative to glitter, because
    it's biodegradable and it's also eco-friendly.
    It's also very inexpensive. Tulle is a great
    option for kids, because it comes in a variety of
    colors and designs. As such, it's perfect for
    kids art projects. It's also great for wrapping
    presents, because you can use it to create
    beautiful bows.
  • Tulle is a very safe alternative to glitter,
    because it is soft and does not pose a choking
    hazard. As such, it's perfect for toddlers and
    babies. However, you should be careful when using
    it, because it is still possible to get it into
    the eyes and mouths of little ones.
  • Cotton balls are another material that's safe for
    toddlers. They're soft and they don't pose a
    choking hazard. However, you should be careful
    when using cotton balls, because they can easily
    get into the eyes of your toddler.
  • Man-made Materials
  • Beads are another wonderful option for toddlers.
    Beads are a safe alternative to glitter, because
    they're non-toxic and they're also soft. They're
    perfect for toddlers, because they're easy to use
    and they don't pose any choking hazards.

What can be used instead of glitter?
  • Beads are also a great way to keep your toddler's
    hands and fingers busy. As such, they're a great
    alternative to glitter. However, if you're
    looking for something more, you can also use them
    to make jewelry. Beads are perfect if you want to
    make jewelry with your toddler.
  • Clay is another option that's safe for toddlers.
    Clay is a soft material, and it's also versatile.
    You can use it to create clay beads, which are
    perfect for toddlers.
  • Christmas is over, but the glitter is still
    everywhere. If you're anything like me, you can't
    help but love the sparkle that comes with it. But
    what if I told you that all that glitters isn't
    gold? In this post, we'll take a look at the
    harmful effects of glitter and how to stay safe
    this season (and all year round).
  • When most people think of glitter, they think of
    the harmless fun that comes with it. After all,
    what's not to love about shiny things?
    Unfortunately, what many people don't know is
    that glitter can be extremely harmful to both
    humans and the environment.
  • Glitter is made up of tiny pieces of metal, and
    when it's released into the air, it can often be
    inhaled by people and animals. It can also get
    into the soil and water. As a result, it can
    poison fish and other animals, and it can even
    poison us.
  • Glitter is non-biodegradable, and it can often
    end up polluting the water and air. When it gets
    into the water, it can harm the environment. As
    such, it's not a good way to sparkle.
  • As such, be sure to use glitter sparingly, and
    only when it's safe to do so.
  • Do you have any favorite glitter alternatives?
