Abstract: The lanyard device for children is a device including a collar having a plurality of lanyards detachably secured thereto via an array of rings. Toys or other paraphernalia are detachably secured to the lanyards. The collar may be removably attached to a structure so that the lanyards are within easy reach of the child. The structure could be any structure used to secure a child therein (high chair, stroller, car seat, etc.). The collar and lanyards are designed to prevent the infant from being ensnared therein. The collar rings and lanyards are fabricated in various textures and colors so as to stimulate the infant's sensory perceptions.
