Safety Frogs Eyes Information Page

 

Plastic shaft

Plastic white surrounding green background

Clear dome cover

Pupils are black discs that move about

All these eyes have metal washers

Suitable for toys providing suitable fabric
is used and they are fitted correctly.

We do not suggest metal washer eyes should be used on thick
fabric such as knitting or crochet. If you use a thick fur fabric
 you can trim the fur where the eye is to go to thin it out.

Not suitable for under 3 year olds.

Comply with the relevant sections of EN-71 which can be
downloaded via the Info Link at the top of all main pages

Eyes are not available without washers, washers are not
available without eyes and we do not have any spares of either

How to Use

Push shaft through fabric - you may need to make a small hole

Place washer on shaft with points away from the eye

Place a hollow tube or pipe on top of washer

Knock the washer down the spindle

You can push with your thumbs but make sure you do it evenly

Be careful not to bend the metal washer points
as that will effect the safety of the eye

Do not jiggle the washer once fitted as
that will effect the safety of the eye

Make sure the washer is right next to the
eye as that may effect the safety of the eye

Metal washers are not suitable for thicker fabrics like socks,
knitting or crochet - please use the eyes with plastic washers instead

Please note - washer cannot be removed once fitted

Children's Toys

Let us know if you use them for other things

Quick Tip

If you are using a crochet or knitted fabric (including socks),
adding some felt or fabric inside where the eye is going
will help hide the washer and make sure it cannot pull out.
