I know we had a post about breaking glass toys recently and it seems most of us haven't had a problem -- but I was reading Sarah Sloane's article this morning and it's got me pondering...
In light of the fact that lower cost glass toys have been known to shatter overnight on the shelves in retail stores due to temperature changes -- seriously! -- and that bumping into other glass or metal toys, etc can cause stress fractures we can't even see and weaken the toy...
I'm starting to think maybe value glass isn't such a value?
Is it worth the risk to have a lower glass toy as opposed to maybe no glass toy if we can't afford the luxury ones?
