Activity

• Physical Risks:
  • Choking hazards from small objects - Ensure all objects used are large enough to prevent choking. Avoid objects that can easily fit into a child's mouth.
  • Tripping and falling - Make sure the play area is free of obstacles and that children are supervised to prevent falls.
  • Unsafe objects - Check all objects for sharp edges, small detachable parts, or any other potential hazards before allowing children to play with them.
  • Overstimulation - Monitor children for signs of overstimulation or frustration and provide breaks if needed.
• Emotional Risks:
  • Competition - Encourage cooperative play rather than competitive behavior to prevent feelings of inadequacy or rivalry among children.
  • Frustration - Be patient and offer support if children find the activity challenging. Avoid putting pressure on them to perform perfectly.
  • Exclusion - Ensure all children have a chance to participate and feel included in the activity to prevent feelings of isolation.
• Precautionary Measures:
  • Supervision - Always supervise children during the activity to ensure their safety and intervene if necessary.
  • Safe objects - Use child-friendly, non-toxic, and age-appropriate objects for the activity.
  • Secure play area - Create a safe play environment by removing any potential hazards and ensuring the play area is childproof.
  • Encouragement and praise - Provide positive reinforcement, praise effort rather than just outcomes, and create a supportive atmosphere for children to explore and learn.
  • Limit playtime - Keep the activity duration appropriate for the children's age and attention span to prevent fatigue or overexertion.

Warnings and precautions for the activity:

• Ensure all objects used are large enough to prevent choking hazards.

• Consider individual sensory sensitivities or special needs that may impact participation.

• Ensure all colorful objects used are large enough to prevent choking hazards. Check regularly for any broken or small parts that could be swallowed.
• Supervise children at all times to prevent them from putting small objects in their mouths. If a child does swallow a small object and is choking, perform back blows and chest thrusts as needed.
• Keep a first aid kit nearby with bandages, antiseptic wipes, and gloves in case of minor cuts or scrapes while handling objects.
• If a child gets a minor cut or scrape, clean the wound with an antiseptic wipe, apply a bandage if needed, and comfort the child to reduce distress.

• Be mindful of any allergic reactions to materials used in the activity. If a child shows signs of an allergic reaction such as hives or difficulty breathing, administer any allergy treatment medication available and seek emergency medical help immediately.
• In case of any emergency, such as a serious fall resulting in loss of consciousness or difficulty breathing, call emergency services immediately and provide CPR if necessary while waiting for help to arrive.
