Which play item should the nurse bring from the playroom to a hospitalized toddler in isolation?

A) Small plastic Lego
B) Set of large plastic building blocks
C) Brightly colored balloon
D) Coloring book and crayons

Play objects for toddlers must still be chosen with an awareness of danger from small parts. Large, sturdy toys without sharp edges or removable parts are safest. Large plastic blocks are appropriate for a toddler in isolation. Small plastic toys such as Lego can cause choking or can be aspirated. Balloons can cause significant harm if swallowed or aspirated. Coloring book and crayons would be too advanced for a toddler.
