Lead Testing Toys

As the title says, in reference to testing toys for lead.

We recently got a test done at our child's one year appointment that showed elevated lead levels. Nothing super high but we're being sent in for a venous blood draw to verify her levels.

We are renters in an older house and plan on getting paint and water samples tested, however I'm also wanting to try and test the toys, as almost all are gifts from family and I don't know where most were purchased.

From my understanding and research there is no good way to test toys at home, though I do have some swabs in the mail for an at home kit just to try something. Is there any solution for trying to find out if the toys are safe? Even if I threw every single one out, how do I ensure new ones are safe?

Please let me know if the flair is incorrect, I'm not really sure

Requesting thoughts/suggestions for themed room

Sorry for the bad quality, did the sketching on my phone to try and get the idea out.

The gist is we want to decorate it like underwater, with the sky being a dark nighttime with glow in the dark stars. The plan is to slowly make cardboard/paper mache sea creatures to decorate the walls with.

I've decided that we're going to paint the door frame and back of the door as well, it's just not shown in this image.

Wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions/thoughts on the design/colors. I paint, but usually canvases and not rooms so I know I'm in for a heck of a project but want to do something funky for our daughters room.

My main thought was maybe I should go on the warmer side of blue and lean teal but I worry with the warmer lights it'll look too green? Figured cool tone blues will match sea creatures better, with the warmer light giving the added warmth but does that make sense? I really don't know, kinda just wanted to hear from other people and see what they might think. Might be a thought out there that could make it better and I just want to make something cool ❤️

Is this calendar art made with ai? Reasons for thinking it's ai are mostly 'it looks like ai', lack of negative space, and the yellow wash.

I hate to be one of those people posting obviously ai art but I wanted to see if other people felt the same way. Reasons for thinking it's ai are mostly 'it looks like ai', lack of negative space, and the yellow wash.

This person has made a previous calendar with a similar style where they disclosed used of some ai for editing, but not the design- I have included that image last so you can see the disclosure, however it was not included with this year's version.

They included some sketches for one of the pictures but it just feels off, hoping to get some other opinions
