There are chances that you will encounter things breaking a lot, especially if you live in a house with kids. Kids often go through difficult situations ranging from smashed toys to torn books or complaining about one damaged thing or the other.
Toys are objects for children (and some adults) to play with; a visit to any toy stores will definitely show the varieties of toys available for kids. Many of these toys have the same elements and may be repaired following some minor principles, since some moves, rolls, or include several parts.
When kids game or toys get spoilt, it may leave them devastated and clueless on the next action to take but to throw the damaged toy or game away, or rather abandon it somewhere. Oh no! You don’t need to throw that beautiful toy away, as you know kids are so emotional when things don’t go the way they planned to, most importantly their toys. Some kids may resort to kicking or smashing the already damaged game or toy while some may wish to fix it but clueless about the process. As a parent, this is the opportunity for you to teach them that; not everything that is busted needs to be tossed away or replaced but can be fixed.
There is absolutely nothing with a problem that doesn’t have a potential solution to it, which means if your game or toy is damaged – there is a possible solution around it. It is possible for plastic toys or some plastic parts of it to break, battery-powered toys may also lose their power. The most common problem with rolling toys is the way their axles, wheels, and handles can become lost. Also, if it is an inflated ball toy type, it can definitely deflate or leak as time goes on.
HOW TO IDENTIFY PROBLEM WITH GAMES AND TOYS
If a battery-operated toy or game refused to turn on, then it means either, there is a problem with the battery or with the battery charger, (the batteries might be down if the switch was left on for a long period).
If a wheeled toy loses its metal or wooden wheel, you can repair it but it is best to replace it for better efficiency.
If a toy’s axle is broken, it is better to replace it.
If the plastic toy or plastic part of the toy gets damaged, you can bond it with adhesives but replacement of that part will be the best.
If a ball deflates, you can re-inflate with a hand pump, but if it doesn’t retain air you should replace it.Â
If the part of a toy becomes loose from metal or wood, you can drill holes through both surfaces and tighten them with rivets or bolts.

COMMON TOY PROBLEMS AND THE STEP-BY-STEP REPAIR PROCESS
Power problems in battery-operated toysÂ
- Check the batteries and replace them as soon as possible
- Ensure the batteries are inserted in the correct manner touching the contacts. And if it doesn’t touch the contacts, use a screwdriver to lift it to touch the contact.
- Check if there is any corrosion on the battery terminals and clean it up.
- If it is a rechargeable battery, check the charger if it’s still working
Â
Broken Axle on toysÂ
- Pry up the push nuts with pliers and unscrew the lock washers.
- Remove the wheel washers and slide out the axle
- Cut a new axle from a steel rood, install the axle and slide flat washers and wheels on the axle end
- Install a push nit on the ends of the axle and put it in place with a hammer
Broken plastic toy
- Wipe off any dust on the edges by roughening lightly with sandpaper
- Apply adhesives to both surfaces of the plastic part to join them together
- Clamp the joined parts with string, elastic band or tape.
- Make sure the repair dries thoroughly, then release the clamp
Â
Loud clicking sound when the toy is on motion
- This mostly occurs when the toy gears are damaged or stripped, the solution is to replace the toy gearbox motor assembly
- Toy stops intermittently and restarts after some minutes
- This occurs when the circuit breaker has tripped due to overloading. Reduce load on the toy because too much weight can overload it.
Leaking valve in a sport ballÂ
- Insert a clean valve with a wet inflating needle to wash away dirt and debris
- In case there is no progress, plug the valve by breaking off a toothpick in the hole
