If you have the correct printer and material, a 3D printer can be a great way to make toys and other little items for your kids.

ABS and PLA are the safest plastics for children, with PLA being a non-toxic bioplastic.

However, if your child has a habit of putting things in their mouth, it is not recommended. Also, try to protect your child from tiny plastic particles that are released into the air during the printing process, as they can be toxic to inhale and aggravate asthma and other respiratory problems.

Furthermore, the printer's nozzle can reach temperatures of above 260°C, causing severe burns if touched.
