Number of children Figure 7 Age of children according to intentional and accidental insertion 4 3 2 Intentional Accidental 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Age in months Twenty four accidental insertions were observed and 61 intentional insertions. Table 28 presents the fingers used for insertions (these are combined for both hands) for all toys and which illustrates that there were more intentional insertions than accidental for all but the little finger. The thumb was accidentally inserted most frequently (8) and the third finger (7) perhaps because of their use in grasping items. For intentional insertions the index finger was observed to be most frequently inserted (27). These results are shown graphically in Figure 8.

The ball was subject to most intentional insertions. In Table 30 the degree of insertion for all toys are shown and this is shown graphically in Figure 9. 33
