How do you test for lead paint on toys?
target recently recalled several toys because they have lead paint. One of the sets is a dinosaur set but not the set I bought my son. I am not sure I trust them when they say his dinosaurs are safe. I want to remove the Target dinosaurs from his herd but he has so many I no longer know which ones came from Target. They cannot tell me how to distinguish their dinosaurs or even how many were in the pack I bought. So I was wondering if there was an easy at home way to test all of his dinosaurs for lead. Any suggestions?

I know you can buy lead paint tests at home depot to test paint chips around the home... but i dont know that it would work on resin based paints that they use on plastic animals...
Maybe call the company that makes those test and ask them?
OR you could call your local poison control center and try asking them how to find out.
If you're really in doubt it might be a good idea to just nix all the dinosaurs and build a new herd. Dinosaurs went extinct you know, maybe you and your son could drop a flaming ball on all them and burn them in the back yard... lol. So he's not so distraught over losing them.
Although that might start an unwated facination with fire.

Get a first response lead testing kit. Not too expensive, they work fabulously. You can get them at almost any hardware store/ WalMart/ Target, etc.
