toy cars at daycare

DD started back to daycare today after the summer off.  She is in the "older" room which is basically 2 year olds.  I was kind of surprised they had toy cars like matchbox type in the room.  I said something to the girl in the room about the fact she might chew on it.  She doesn't chew on things as much but you get the point.  I am tempted to say something to the director tomorrow who already thinks I am a pain in the butt.

    You could ask the director about it but our DS does ok with those kinds of cars.

    If you are worried then let her know,  but DS loves his matchbox cars and has never chewed on them. I wouldn't worry about it, but I am also very relaxed about things like this.

    Billy would be lost without his matchbox cars.  they ar ehis favorite - he's been laying with them since he was about 18 months.  I wouldn't worry about them - they're too big to choke on.

    I would definitely say something.  Typical matchbox cars are not intended for under 3 -- says so right on all the boxes -- because the wheels or other small parts can come off.  So, those cars shouldn't even be in that room, IMO.  I have a 3.5 year old DS & a 18 month old DD -- and DS loves his cars.  DD plays with them sometimes, but I do have to watch her b/c she will try to put it in her mouth.  It only takes one time for your DD to try chewing on it & a piece pops off.  Not a risk I'd be willing to take.

    Well, my son has played with Matchbox cars since he was about 1 year old.  And I don't know what he would do without them.  But at a DC, you are probably right to be concerned.  I would mention it to the director.
