As we have discussed quite often on my Facebook page, house keys often have very high levels of lead. Unfortunately children are inexplicably drawn to playing with your keys!
While letting babies play with metal things that they might put in to their mouth is not generally a good policy, Kleynimals is a small, American, woman-owned company that has come up with a Lead-free real metal toy key product that is also safe in other ways (not a choking or laceration hazard!) and may just actually keep your child as easily entertained as your house keys that they covet so much.
When I first posted about this product back in 2017, Kleynimals was not compensating me in any way to share about their products, I just shared about them because I thought they were so innovative in that they were a fun toy that actually solved a problem! But then later (because I love their products so much) in 2019 I invited them to become an advertising partner on my website and you can now see their advertising banner with a link to their website on the top of every page of my website!
When I first found Kleynimals (and originally wrote this post!) I thought it was such a fun solution and just wanted to share it with my readers as I had never seen anything like it before! Check out Kleynimals website here!
You can also find them on Amazon now, here’s my affiliate link for one of their many child-safe food-grade stainless steel products: https://amzn.to/2TcVJwl
As always, thank you for reading and sharing my posts.
Please let me know if you have any questions!

Oh gosh I let my baby play with the keys just recently before I knew this. should I be worried?
