to be careful with sharp object I suppose. I have a plastic one somewhere. Dont remember when I was in grade school that children were allowed to use them. Only the teachers or art teachersback in the 60s.
I remember I had a toy iron that actually worked. Now that seems crazy to me today. Dont know what my mom was thinking. I hate ironing by the way.
