child playing with safe toysAs the holiday season approaches, gift-giving becomes a central theme. With December being Safe Toys and Gifts Month, it’s the perfect opportunity for ENT practices to inform and educate parents on the importance of choosing safe toys to protect their children’s ears, noses, and throats. Here’s a focused social media campaign to drive this message home.

🎁 1. Educational Infographics

Kick off the month with a colorful infographic illustrating common ENT-related injuries due to unsafe toys. Highlight stats and provide visuals on which toys to avoid and why.

👂 2. Hearing-Safe Toy Recommendations

Feature a post listing “Top 5 Hearing-Safe Toys of the Year.” Discuss toys that are volume-limited or don’t produce loud, harmful sounds that could damage young ears.

🎥 3. Safety Videos

A short video demonstrating the potential dangers of specific toys can be more impactful than words alone. Consider showcasing the internal damage certain toys can cause to drive home the message.
